What ski/snowboard resort?

since you're staying the night it sounds loike you should go for a weekend..i prefer southern vermont for being close to NYS...okemo and mt snow are both great for intermediates..also, Pico mountain which is part of kiillington is a great "mini" mountain and also great for intermediates..you can even buy a killiongton p and if it gets too crowded or too much effort to trek across all their mountains you can head to pico and probably have ot to yourself
