Yes. Have been to Utah (Alta/Snowbird), Whistler, and Mt Hood Meadows
Really want to get back but it is tough now with a small family----I don't see the value in hauling my son out there and spending all the $ until we can ski everything together as a family. Realistically probably not for another 8-10 yrs
A guys only trip is on my wish list but hasn't happened yet.
Whoops! Oh well...perhaps my reasons/challenges for not having been out West recently (last trip was 2009) applies to some who have never been.The question was...
Have any of you guys NEVER skied outside of the Northeast?

hahaha, sorry for the confusion. I was just curious to hear from people who have never made it out of the Northeast.
I haven't skied outside of the Northeast now in almost a decade. It is long, long overdue.
Went to Tahoe about 20 years ago (pre-kids). Didn't have conditions any different than NE then haha. So really not much different (but Heavenly was awesome).
No plans for a long time. Having a ski house (and lake house) and passes for family takes up about our entire ski budget. And our kids are not dying to go - our family vacations will not be at a western ski area, no matter how much I wish it. I love skiing, in the NE...so I'm not moaning about the horror of my situation. I feel very fortunate I get about 60 days/year with all I've got going on in my life - it's a miracle!
I've only skied outside the NE on one vacation to Banff area.
Yup...choices. We're happy. Makes it easier when I really have no clue what I'm missing lol. Powder is weird...not sure I'd enjoy it much. Although I insta-drool when I see MaryJane bump pics.I would trade a ski house near a New England ski area I loved over a lifetime's worth of trips out west and I've skied plenty out west.
