what's the best bet for good lift accessed freeriding near boston. i realize that this season is almost over. i'm looking for some good intermediate to advanced trails. i'd like to get in another weekend this season. next season i'm thinking about gteting a season pass. i looked at killington rates and i think they were on the cheap side at around $70 for a seasom which seemed like a real deal to me considering that mount snow costs about $225. i'd probably be going up friday or saturday and camping out over the weekend doing riding on sat and sunday. anybody have any comments on this. all i've heard much about are plattekill, mt.snow, killington, and attitash. anybody got drive time estimates to these places from around Boston? plattekill seems way too far away for regular trips to from Boston.

Jiminy Peak is my new favorite since Sunday River closed, probably around 3 hours from Boston. They run a summit lift til 430 or so, and keep a lower lift running til dark. Nice place; nothing too crazy but lots of fun. Worth checking out, specially if you're looking for intermediate stuff.
I hear Attitash has some good stuff too; haven't been there yet tho. Bolton Valley VT has been running the lifts first w/e of every month too and they've got some sick stuff.
