TLDR: I’d suggest Bolton or Smuggs as best beginner mountains.

Bolton is the local diver bar mountain. It’s awesome. Relatively cheap and close, short lifts quick trails that are intermixed well so you can do a quick black diamond into a green and coast the rest of the way.

So even if you find yourself on a trail above your comfort level, it’s super short so you’ll be off it quick. Great for getting comfortable on different difficulty trails.

Also consider a Morse only pass at Smuggs. Smuggs doesn’t have intermixed trails, it has a beginner mountain, an intermediate mountain and an expert mountain… Morse is the beginner mountain and is great for a coasting day or to go with beginners because the lifts are less intimidating when you don’t have to go to the top or have experts screaming passed you at 90 mph. The Morse only pass is usually pretty cheap compared to the bigger resorts (or all mountain pass at smuggs)

I’d avoid Stowe/killington/sugarbush because their runs are so long (personally). I went to killington the other year after having not gone in years and I thought my back was gonna give out after 1 run. Just anecdotal.

You could also look into middlebury. Not sure prices or anything but that place is tiny too.

It’s honestly my best evidence this really is all a projection.

If (from the light’s perspective) it just left and arrived instantly, that really supports the idea it’s just a hologram appearing as summoned rather than a static entity thats existed billions of years despite no one seeing it. It’s really screams like we saw it and then made up an explanation to explain how its actually really old and took time to arrive when our science is pointing out it actually just appeared at the very moment we saw it.

The trick here is when you are moving the speed of light, time stops passing for you.

So we see light as leaving billions of years ago. But the light left instantly ago from its perspective. Kinda trippy thought - almost like the light says it left a long time ago but really just appeared in its current location now.
