Killington- If you have not noticed I love killington mountain. It is the biggest mountain in the northeast no matter if you are a beginner or an expert there is a trail that you will love at killington. I personal love the waffle house it is so de-lic! Killington gets really crowed sometimes like in times of school vacations which is why I like.....<br /><br /><br /><br />2.) Pico! pico is a smaller mountain which is down the street from killington! Because killlington is so well known everyone is always there and and forget about pico leaving pico with some nice soft POWDER!i went down my first mobiles at pico although at the time i didnt realize i was going over what ended up being a huge jump and i screamed the whole way down until i LANDED it! The price of a lift ticket is def the best out of all of these! If you are looking to save a few bucks def go to pico over killington<br /><br /><br /><br />3.) Loon~ when you want great powder go loon mountain! they have some of the best beginner trails and it is where i first went snowboarding! It is more local to UNH so if you are a UNH student its a great mountain to go to!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Other local mountains i reccomend......waterville valley(near loon), Stowe moutain (expensive but if you go on the perfect conditions its worth it always powder!), Bolton Valley (south of stowe in vermont good value)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1566815093193879876-8217518301942804541?l=ahinman.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alyssa Hinmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06840251698420905585noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566815093193879876.post-86921180646710185712007-11-08T16:36:00.000-08:002007-11-08T16:37:45.646-08:00Get your season pass to any mountain now and get a great student discount!!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1566815093193879876-8692118064671018571?l=ahinman.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Alyssa Hinmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06840251698420905585noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566815093193879876.post-75449942019705913202007-11-08T06:04:00.001-08:002007-11-08T06:10:55.670-08:00KILLINGTON RESORT, PICO MOUNTAIN EVENTS 07-08<br /><br />09/17/2007<br /><br />KILLINGTON, Vt.
