Paul Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 With the 2017-18 Ski Season approaching us, and will be here before you know it, are there any new ski areas that anyone has planned to discover for the first time this year? I have a few that are on my list for this year, the first being Tenney Mountain, NH which is supposed to be reopening after a 6 year closure. Lots of work being done there to prepare for the upcoming season. Also on the list would be Black Mountain, ME, Suicide Six in Vermont and maybe Burke Mountain, VT. I hope to have the time to visit all of them but we will see what mother nature throws us this year, and if I have the time for all as well.

Shane Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Hey Paul, nice choices to visit. For me, I would love to visit Whiteface, and perhaps a new mountain in Vermont (Jay Peak, Burke, Sugarbush, Killington) only one of the above though this year. In Québec, hoping to visit some more mountains in the Laurentians such as Vallée Bleue. In Lanaudiere, perhaps Mont Garceau or Montcalm. And of course, Ski Saint-Bruno. Never been but interested in seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Owl's Head and Sugar Loaf are on the agenda. As for a western ski trip it may be Big White and Red Mountain this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I can guarantee you won't be disappointed with Owl's Head. I personally love that mountain. Lilly's Leap is by far my favorite trail. The views are unforgettable. I can easily spend most of my time lapping that trail during a visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 I can agree with Shane on Owl's Head, you won't be disappointed. Also The Upward Trail, Lakeview and the Couloir are pretty decent runs off of the Lake Quad. The views are just fantastic on a sunny day. One pretty decent view from the top of the Green chair, when you are looking up the lake is the steeple of the Abbey at St-Benoit-du-Lac.

Gordo Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Cool Owl's Head it is. As a bonus you can buy lift tickets with Airmiles points. Only 375pts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I had used Airmiles a long time ago, on my first visit to Owl's Head. Worked out quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 So far this season I haven't travelled to the areas mentioned in my initial post, but that is fine. I have discovered 2 new areas this season in Sommet Olympia and Wildcat, NH. Totally the opposite of the plan. For me this year of travelling to the US is pretty much done until next season.
