I notice many parents are taking their kids elsewhere like Pat's Peak or Ragged Mountain. My daughter used to come up on weekends to ski from Conn. She found out it's cheaper to take the wee ones to Southington as their ski packages are a lot cheaper!
Just recently she found Mt. Snow in Vermont has an affordable package for her family. They are planning a few days there. They used to ski Gunstock.
I also found the Gunstock Ski Club race program a bit egoistic. Ever notice the 'graduates' are not doing well is future events?

Even though I'm 15 minutes from Gunstock my daughter takes the kids to Cranmore, much more kid friendly.
