Back in the days when I had a clue about what was going on the brit kid groups were a completely separate deal from normal ski school. The brit groups negotiate special pricing -- and have their own groups. Whether a Brit group has 8-10 has no bearing on what customers paying retail can expect.

Hold up, if what you want is long groomed cruisers... then certainly the alps provide longer cruisers for intermediates. Yes, if one is looking to combine a trip to other U.S. sites, then by all means consider a trip to vermont. Or, think about Whistler via Vancouver. But the fact remains that Killi...

How much cheaper would it have to be to make it worthwile? And if its cheaper in the U.S. then why not bypass Boston for SLC and the goods on offer there?

You are considering coming from England to ski in Vermont? For what it is worth... if you are going to cross the pond you might as well go west to Colorado, Utah (resorts within 1/2 hour of the airport) or British Columbia.

I don't have a dog in this fight... but just for fun... here is my counterargument to you HS. 1) The biggest losers among loyal cost-sensitive K passholders are those with children-- the increased prices for the kids programs has increased the season-cost tremendously for those who used ski school. ...

Iceman rips.... but I agree with the judges in how they placed 'em, on airs, landings and turns. Iceman's best turns (at least on run #2) came in the lower half of the middle portion. There's he doing much less sliding into the bumps, and keeping his upper body much more quiet. That's whereI would f...

I've used these guys:

Pros -- very convenient, professional, no redunkulous waiting in line or getting up at crack of dawn.

Cons -- pricey.

($75 in addition to gov't fees for the 15 business day service)

All things equal... Stowe over Whaleback....

But Whaleback is owned operated and run by folks who had/have deep Killington roots.

So... you might consider throwing some love their way for a one-day trip for a comp.

They claim to have a super pipe
