I'm going to try a poll of VT-NH-ME-NY biggies and see what the profile of this group looks like. Yeah, I'm leaving out the smaller places, and deliberately omitting MA and CT. We can have a mega-poll if this works out. Of course you can vote for as many resorts/hills as you want. But you're only allowed one vote per hill.

Guess I should put in a vote for Saddleback.... The Loaf is a given, but Saddleback's a close 2nd...just another 20mi+....:roll:...but a lot of fun as much more pow remains after the first three hours...lol.

Sunday River is a given for me! It's just too easy to make it there as there's someone almost always going up there! But it's all good.

Touch 'em all. 8)

+1 one on that one.

If you're not too far away and we've received some good snow, I recommend that anyone try Camden Snowbowl at least once. Enjoy the views of the ocean and have fun in an atmosphere that is not only a throwback to times gone by, by a laid back vibe, about 900 feet of vert and some pretty good glades.

And Mt. Abram is fantastic. Should be in the poll. Varying terrain and no crowds. Check it!

+1. The Snow Bowl is a great spot. Always fun. Has everything for a super cheap fun day out.

Definitely Sugarloaf. I may go for a couple days during Xmas break. I'd like to get to Sunday River but not sure if I will be able to hit it this year, I have so many others on my bucket list right now, including definitely MRV and some more NH spots.

Given the number of mid size areas included for NH and VT, I am surprised that you didn't include Shawnee Peak and Mt. Abram in ME. Anyway, I definitely plan to hit all 3 of the mountains you included this year, and voted as such.

Definitely will hit the Snowbowl again this year. In addition to all the above, it has awesome ski lodge food.

+1 Here for the Snow Bowl. The toboggan run is also fun to hit up for a few rides down the chute.
