What's the closest ski area to you that you've never been to?

[zinger3000]

For me, it would be Stratton, at about 1 hour 40 mins from Albany, NY. I think I've been to every other ski area within 2 hours of me (and plenty of others much further away as well.) I'll probably hit Stratton someday, but I'll plan on midweek with some sort of discount.

Gunstock and oddly, it is the closest 1000+ vert mountain to me. Probably about 15 minutes closer than Ragged where I have a pass. I've only lived in the area for 2 seasons though.

Crotched. Always lived within 50 miles of it but never been. Part of it is that is mostly backroads...

 

[Newpylong]

Wachusett - and I live in Boston.

Woodbury. It's only about a half hour away but I've never skied there.

Blue Hills is 20 minutes from home. I have hiked it but never skied there.

+1 Forgot about that one. I guess the second place would go to McIntyre. Think I'd better try it while we still have a little snow!

Man, you got me going. I think I'm gonna hit that place up this week or weekend when I'm just idling around here for an hour or two. They're braggin about 5" of fresh pow. You usually hear about how lousy the snow is. Anybody else in?

i've hit em all within 2.5 hrs but within 3 hrs i missed Jay Peak and Hickory and lots of smaller ones in the Laurentians in Quebec e.g. St Sauver , Gabriel , Blanc

Yawgoo Valley, Ski Ward, Nashoba..., sometimes I wonder why I still live in Rhode Island.

Ski Ward - bring work gloves

 

[bvibert]

Woodbury here as well. I drove by it once in the off season.

 

[gmcunni]

i was going to say woodbury too but then realized i skied there once about 25 years ago. I'll go with catamount instead. been there but not for skiing.

Ski Ward on the map looks to be a few miles closer to my house than Blue Hills

 

[john1200c]

Bradford- 10 miles from home but never been.

ditto.

 

[gmcunni]

anyone ever use the now defunct website skidweeb.com. you could put in your zip code and you'd get back a list of resorts based on distance from you. i used to like to look for which places were closer to me than my "usuals".

 

[WJenness]

Nashoba.

Two towns away and I drive right by it when I go to WaWa.
