    General Ski Question from a Newbie

    It's hard to say how many lessons it will take before you take on more challenging terrain. Skiing is a luxury, if you can afford it and enjoy it, stick with it. I imagine it will take a few more lessons to feel more comfortable, but don't be discouraged especially if you are having fun. Who...

    Most over and underrated ski resort in NE?

    I dont see how price should be a deciding factor on whether a place is over rated or not. Skiing is a pure luxury, you dont have to ski and resorts can charge whatever people will pay.

    Most over and underrated ski resort in NE?

    Agree 100%. People shit on the Poconos because its not Vermont or NH like people shit on Vermont/NH because its not out west. Who cares. Some of my fondest memories growing up was when my family and I would stay at Brodie in western Mass for a week. It was great, all of my friends were there...

It looks like its only a few hundred more for the week as opposed to 4 days. Most places average about 1400-2000 a week, but split between 3 familes it...

    Planning a Ski Vacation

    North Conway is what my brother suggested as well. I think thats where we are going to start looking, although I love the idea of spending time at Stowe. We want to stay on the east coast within driving distance, so Dubai is out, though I will go some day. Thanks for the help.

    best relocation options in the west (mountain/area)?

    House Hunters was in Whitefish the other night and that place looked fantastic. Sadly though, my wife doesnt ski, or do anything outdoorsy so moving somewheres with not much else would get old for her fast.
