# of ski resorts you have ridden

Recommended Posts

I stopped counting at 50- due to my previous career as a snowboard rep, I have had the priviledge to ride at almost every resort in Western Canada, WA, OR, MT, ID AK,UT, WY, CO as well as some in Ontario, Quebec, VT, NH, and ME.

Now, I confine my resort visits to the Pacific NW. My favorites are Whistler Blackcomb, Red Mountain, Big White (all BC resorts), Lake Louise AB, Mt Baker WA, Schweitzer ID, Big Mountain MT, Powder Mountain UT,and Jackson Hole WY.

Resorts I've ridden:

Grew up skiing in Michigan - little hills outside of Detroit like Mt. Brighton, Mt. Holly, and Alpine Valley - those don't qualify as resorts of course, but the family did take trips to what we considered the big ski areas of Boyne Mtn, Boyne Highlands, and Crystal Mtn. Man those places looked big to me back then.

In Idaho I've ridden:

Sun Valley

Pommerelle (ski hill between Twin Falls and Idaho Falls)

Soldier Mountain (small hill about an hour from Sun Valley)

In Utah I've ridden:

Powder Mountain

Snow Basin

Poci, Idaho's ski area is Pebble Creek. Haven't been there yet, but it looks like fun.

Haven't gotten around much, but looking forward to more travels in the future!

More like boulder creak at the time. It's been over 13 yrs since I've been there.

New Hampshire: McIntyre, Pat's Peak, Gunstock, Sunapee, Ragged, Cranmore, Cannon, Loon, Attitash, Waterville and Bretton Woods

Vermont: Mt. Snow, Jay Peak, Killington

Maine: Sunday River

Mass: Wachusett

I stood in the ticket line at Mountain Creek in New Jersey for about an hour once before I said to hell with it, it's not worth this for crappy snow, crowds, and 700' of vertical.

So 16 mountains total. I think I probably forgot one or two though. This list does not include backcountry either.
