2 miles to the mighty Yawgoo.....about 90 minutes to Wachusett Mountain on a weekday morning....Berkshire East is about 2 hours (and worth the extra time to drive!!)

I would say thats true for me as well Scotty (maybe 35 min). I'm 2 on the dot from Hunter. Plattekill is way back there and much further from the Thruway.

I've only been once and that's about how long it took. I took 28 to 30. Maybe 23 to 30 would be faster.

Close enough to see the groomers on the hill from my living room window at night.

They are all far away!
"Close" is a relative term. As far as I'm concerned, they are all too damn far.
But the closest ones would be Shawnee in PA or Mountain Creek in NJ (about 90 minutes), followed by Camelback and the other Pocono ski areas (2-2.5 hrs) and then the Catskills (2.5-3 hours). Gore Mountain and Vermont are in the 4.5-5 hour range.
So I'll do Mountain Creek/Poconos for a day trip. If I got more time I'll head north. Fortunately my weekends are Thurs-Sunday so I do have time and don't mind driving a few extra hours.

40 minutes to lots of places: Cannon, Loon, Waterville, Ragged (Gunstock a little more than that). Tenney was about 20ish when it was open.
