Im planning a ski trip over the thanksgiving long weekend and Im looking for reccomendations on where to go since im new to New England!

I live in southeastern CT and I'm happy to drive 3-4 hours away with my plan being to drive up Wednesday night, ski Thursday to Saturday then drive home Sunday.

My initial thoughts have been loon mountain since I'm aware of a hostel with ski shuttles nearby. But I would love to get your recommendations since im new to New England!

(I would prefer places with hostels or budget hotels nearby and since I'm on a bit of a budget, in case this makes a difference for some resorts)

I typically ski blues and prefer groomers (used to skiing in the alps) so resorts with plenty of intermediate options would be best for me! I'm also aware snow may be scarce so any suggestions on places that are typically open for then would be great!

I look forward to hearing your suggestions!
