Mount Mansfield in Stowe, Vermont
By Sergey on Jun 11, 2010 in Photo Trail
In my last post I uploaded photos taken around Stowe, Vermont. Today, I am putting up a couple pf pictures taken at the top of Mount Mansfield. Mount Mansfield is the highest mountain in Vermont. If you are not up to a physical challenge I suggest taking a scenic drive up the Toll road to [...]
Sugarbush Ski Resort – Classic Vermont Skiing
By Sergey on May 05, 2010 in Vermont Ski Resorts
Come on, it’s only an hour and a half drive!” I tried to persuade my friends to drive with me to Sugarbush ski resort. They hesitated, and I understood why—who wants to squander time when three ski areas lie within a 25-minute drive from our place in southern VT? “They have fresh natural snow—just an [...]
Beginner glades at Jay Peak
By Sergey on May 04, 2010 in Vermont Ski Resorts
What is so special about Jay Peak ? An answer is simple – glades and backcountry skiing. Jay Peak allows skiers and snowboarders to venture anywhere on its vast territory. They have what can be described as most liberal ski policies in the East, and it sure attracts folks looking for hidden stashes of powder. [...]
Jay Peak Resort – The Case of The Jay Cloud
By Sergey on May 04, 2010 in Vermont Ski Resorts
“We call it breeze!” yelled a ski patroller, commenting on the bone-chilling bitter wind at the top of Jay Peak resort. “And we call it severe-weather-please-stay-home in NYC. Gee, a forecast did not say anything about the breeze!” I thought, trying to adjust my gear and shield myself from the blustery Jay Peak weather. It [...]
Magic Mountain resort – Expert Skiing only?
By Sergey on May 04, 2010 in Vermont Ski Resorts
Earlier in the morning, we received a comment from a reader who pointed out that Magic Mountain resort will only be open on weekends, holidays and after major snowstorms in the 2009/2010 season. That got me thinking – if they change hours of operation, why not change an image. I often hear comments such as: [...]
Okemo Mountain – VT Skiing For All Skills
By Sergey on May 04, 2010 in Vermont Ski Resorts
It was neither a well-organized Vermont ski trip, nor a good time to take one when we visited Okemo Mountain during the Christmas week – one of the busiest and most expensive periods for a ski vacation in Vermont. Although it was five years ago, I can still remember the huge crowds clearly, and the [...]
Magic Mountain Resort – Best Kept Secret in Vermont
By Sergey on May 04, 2010 in Vermont Ski Resorts
Raise your hand if you have ever been to or heard of Okemo, Killington, Stratton or Sugarbush mountain resorts in VT. Chances are that most of you will raise a hand. These places have extensive snowmaking, powerful grooming fleets, fast chair lifts, luxury condos, spas and everything in between that would make that ski vacation [...]
Bromley Resort – The Sun Mountain in Vermont
By Sergey on May 04, 2010 in Vermont Ski Resorts
I admit that I may hold a rather biased view of Bromley Resort. After all, I kicked off the 2008-2009 ski season by attempting to snowboard at the “Unforgiving Boarder Cross” Park; I received my first telemark lesson (Stay tuned because we will publish a separate article dedicated to telemark programs at Bromley) there and [...]
