Winterplace offers great variety in slopes for the east coast skiing. Visited in the first week of February 07 and snow condition were great, very little ice, with fresh manmade powder on most slopes. Even had some fresh natural snow falling.
I will buy a face mask, because the snow blowers really freeze your face without one. A small price to pay for great snow conditions.
