Are you actually comparing the difficulty of Stratton/Okemo to Killington?
What do you mean, "don't know where to go"? Okemo is by far the most boring f*** mountain I have ever seen when it comes to difficulty. Let's be serious, they have "double diamond" glades with snowmaking on them... You cannot take away that these two places put more back into the mountain and have a better product than Killington but, lol, I can't even believe you made that statement. Big Bang at Jackson Gore is no more difficult than Skyeburst, seriously.
Okemo's pretty flat. But they always have a great park and bumps. The cruisers are niiiiiice.....sicko rollers.
Stratton, well Stratton is pretty damn good...some real nice spots if you look hard enough.

it's Vermont dude...killington is no stand out...anything super steep won't hold the snow and will turn into a waterfall of blue/green ice during one of the many freezw/thaw r*in events during the season...get over yourself and your big bad mountain...in general, vermont is vermont is vermont...with subtle difference between mountains and weather...oftentimes if its r*ining at stratton, it's r*ining at jay...it may just hold off a little longer...oftentimes, the bigger storms stay south...the refresher storms usually dump more north....blablabla...
I agree with Hal. Weather dictates conditions - so a truly steep run at K with limited cover, is no better than a roller at Stratt or Oke with a fresh dump.
