I'm a sucker for a good survey:

hey we should have a survey for the top 10 ski areas in the east... this would require a whole lotta work but i have nothing better to do, hmmm we could all vote for our top 5 and 1=5 points 2=4 and so on...
i would do all of the math if anyone wants to do it...

Here are the rules. You pick your top 5 favorite ski areas. That's it. You can like them for any reason you'd like, as long as they're your favorites. You should display it in this format:

1. Killingon (Favorite)
2. Hunter
3. Pico
4. Stowe
5. Windham (fifth favorite)

Ok, here are the rules. Every ski area nominated must be in the Northeast, and for our purposes let's call the northeast the following states: VA, WV, MD, DE, PA, NJ, NY, CT, MA, RI, VT, NH, ME. It does not have to be a commercial ski area, so if you want to nominate Tuckerman Ravine Ski Area, go ahead. You should have personally skied there. If you're like me and haven't skied at 5 areas in the NE, there's no shame in picking a top 4 instead.

Every #1 nomination will receive 5 points. #2 nominations will receive 4 points, #3 will receive 3, #4 will receive 2, #5 will receive 1. In this way, we'll get a top 10 (or top 50.. whatever) list of the favorite ski areas, according to Alpinezone's users. awf170 volunteered to score this survey, so now it's his job. hehe.

This should be pretty simple. If I forgot to mention something, I'll edit this post and add to it (in other words, we're making up the rules to this poll as we move along. Isn't that wonderful?)

Let's take my example above as my entry, with the exception of Pico because I've never skied there. I meant to go last season, but didn't. Bummer. (So the scoring right now would be Killington 5, Hunter 4, Stowe 3, Windham 2.)

hehe.. I thought the quote "If anyone wnats to do it" meant run the poll, not participate. I guess that makes more sense after all.

You could be the man behind the scenes.. you know what I mean: the guy with real power who doesn't risk his neck or reputation by being president.

Great idea!

1. Stowe
2. Jay
3. Sugarbush
4. Sugarloaf
5. Mad River

Deadhead, great hardcore list. I see you live in Burlington so you're close to all except the loaf. I notice Smuggs didn't make your list. I've talked to many Burlingtonians who swear by the place. Just curious why it wasn't in your top 5.

i am hoping my favorites don't make the top ten. less exposure keeps the crowds down! people don't know what they are missing!
:beer:

Thing about K-mart is people either love it or hate it. Not alot of people I know are dispassionate about it.
