Hmmm... now that opens a big door - Make your list everybody! I just tried. It is difficult not to be biased by geography and experience. So Belleayre & Hunter somehow show up on mine.

As much as I love Belleayre, I don't really think they should be on the list. It's a great mountain, and I spend most of my time there, but it has none of the terrain or amenities that the majority of the larger Eastern resorts have.
