Lake Placid is probably just as far as Sugarloaf. Much more to do in town too. Whiteface is the only mtn. but it is not too shabby.
Is there enough for intermediates at Whiteface? Have to say there's appeal to being at Lake Placid...

Mt. Snow sounds almost tailor made for what you're looking for. Should keep you entertained for 2 days, lots of blues, and relatively close.

I agree Mount Snow should be really fun for the whole family.
But you know Killington ski tickets are also good at neighboring Pico (but Pico ticks not good at Killington because of cost). Now there's a bang for your buck. Get a multi day ticket. Have fun.

I would agree that WF and Gore may be a good play. WF has a fair amount of intermediate terrain and lots of sustained steeper groomers (cloudspin). Gore has a good mix of terrain and some great intermediate cruisers (nothing beats showcase) plus some steep normally groomed terrain such as Rumor and Lies. North Creek is also a great little ski town.

I also think Sunday River or Mt Snow would be good. Sunday River is definitely bigger but Mt Snow has good variety as well.

I would say Sugarbush as its one of my faves but I normally only go there to ski bumps and that's all I ski when I'm there...never skied any of the groomers really. Can't speak to Sugarloaf as that's on my hit list.

Thanks to everyone for their inputs. Just booked a 2BR condo 2 miles from Sunday River. Guessing there will be good skiing to be had no matter what the weather brings over the next 2 months.
