Stowe this weekend?

I have been skiing the east coast for 20 years. I have never been to Stowe, VT. What's wrong with me? I hear that it's one of the best on the East Coast. I think it's because Smugg's is right next door. It's fun and cheap to stay at Smuggler's Notch and their ski patrol let you wander where ever you want. There is some really cool 10 to 15 foot cliffs on the far right side of the mountain, but considered out of bounds. Locals must cut the landing in the summer time, because it has a nice opening to try some tricks and have some space if you mess the landing. I'm new to skireport.com, but now love it. It's awesome to read posts about how the conditions were from actual skiers and not the mountain itself. They have a feature called powder points which will list who is getting dumped on. Stowe and Bolton Valley are at the top of the list for East coast. Bolton is fun and has some really cool glades, but I am thinking that I should check out Stowe. From Mattituck, NY this will be a 4 hour drive to Albany, NY. Stay over with the parents, wake up at 5am and take the 4 hr drive to Stowe. ski my heart out, then drive back to Albany, sleep the night there, then 4 r drive back to Mattituck. It used to be a lot easier in Cali where they got 10 feet last week. My brother keeps sending me emails "when are you coming out?". $220 to fly Virgin America is sounding pretty good. I wish I made more money or lived on a mountain.
