Off to New York near end of November.

Considering a sneaky snow trip while i am there.

Any idea if resorts near there will have snow by then and if so suggestions for where might be best would be really welcome.

Cheers

if you're there for literally a 'few days', Jay Peak is a lot smaller and cheaper than Killington but still more than enough for at least a weeks fun - they can get crazy snow fall too like all eastern US resorts

Id recommend going there for sure

Jay Peak has a brand new water-park if shes the aquatic type? :L

Jay Peak is FAR!!! It's a 8 or 9 hour drive from NYC.

Killington might be your best bet. It usually has the best early season snow and an OK nightlife. You can also get 2-1 early season tickets there:

So the Mrs. might not have an excuse not to join you on the Mountain.

If you would like to stay closer to NYC Hunter MTN might be open by late November. It's only 2 1/2 hrs from NYC but it is small and is really only good for a day trip. And expect very raw conditions there.

You are just going to have to wait and see unfortunately. East coast weather is touch and go at the best of times - early season its a guessing game.

Killington opened last weekend, not sure if it is still open, but times have past where it has opened for thanksgiving weekend then closed until December.

Nobody on this planet is going to be able to give you good advice, because nobody knows, you just have to keep your ear to the ground.

Its 21C here in Boston right now - not much snowmaking this week, and temps don't look too favorable for the foreseeable future.

Thanks for the reply. If conditions are equal across the board (either poor or great), where would you recommend and why? Is there much to do at night in any of these places? What can I hope to tempt the other half with in any of these places?

21C! Not bad. It's 10C and wet and miserable here. Any tips for must-sees in Boston?

Well conditions/terrain open really varies from resort to resort, keep an eye on them. If I had to choose one and the conditions were equal, I would choose Stowe. Its by far the nicest/most affluent resort, looks like a ski town, and has Burlington close by which is a stunning town. Jay is in the middle of nothing, Killington is big but a bit of a zoo and it isnt really a ski town, just an access road with a few bars/shops on it.

I have honestly never really done the tourist thing in Boston, I have been living here on and off for the last 4 years, and I love it. There is a lot of touristy things to do near government center, even one of those daft duck busses that goes in the sea for a bit then drives around town - they are open top though, and im not sure how warm it will be in 3 weeks - saying that today I worked in shorts and flip flops!
