jtslalom Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I counted the other day and know that I have ridden at 22 different ski resorts. Most of them in the north east and 3 in the west. States include New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York Vermont, New Hampshire, and Colorado. How many have you ridden and what states?

crucible Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 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.

lamby Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
