The only question you need to ask yourself is, “Where do I want to ski?” It seems like an easy question, but as Wray showed me, you have many choices to make before you head off on your ski pilgrimage. First you’ll need to book your trip. Lodges fill up quickly, as the peak time to ski is between Thanksgiving and the second week in April. But it’s still not too late to book a trip, Wray says. Ask for it, and your travel agent can put it together.
There are so many lodges and towns to pick from, the winter traveler may become a little worked up. As Wray, O’Reilly and Crum pored over each great slope, resort and town many of the same places kept getting mentioned. These folks know what Springfield travelers want, and they know where to send them.
