Next step up from Bolton
I have been skiing Bolton Valley with my kids for the past few seasons. It's where we learned. We have had season passes and will again this year. I stick to mostly blues and greens. I am not very good on glades and moguls. For me, Fanny Hill is my sweet spot and I like trying to make carving turns down Beech Seal (though it is short). I have not skied Cobrass because it is usually icy or thin cover but would like to this year. My daughter (14) mostly sticks with me but likes to try some of the glades and woods. My son (11) skis the entire mountain, although I'm not entirely sure of how well but he is always at the checkpoints we establish when we split up.
I'd like to take my kids to a different mountain this winter so they can experience something else. We like Bolton because it is not huge and resorty. I'm wondering what the next step up is from Bolton. For example, Smuggs looks nice but it is pretty divided. Morse looks like it is all green which might be boring for my son while Madonna and Sterling look like it might be too challenging for me and the blacks too much for my son. I don't care if we split up for different runs but I don't want to be on two entirely different mountains. Anyway, my question is, what in Vermont is a reasonable next step up given what I explained from Bolton Valley?
