20 Hidden Ski Resorts

[dlague]

As voted by you - what? I did not vote. I think it is interesting that MRG is the one and only in the Northeast. I think you all have a different opinion!

Which resort do you consider hidden in the Northeast?

I think Mount Abram or either Black Mountains in NH or ME

I like how top comment on that is:

Mount Cain Alpine Park:

"Pfffft. Hardly a "hidden gem" list if you miss a resort with the best powder on an island in the Pacific Ocean."

Sadly, I googled 'em, and:

We are sorry to say that Mt. Cain is closed until further notice.
We need about 140cm of snow to re-open.

We are in the same boat as ALL the other coastal ski hills. Sorry folks.
If there is any hope of opening, you'll be hearing it on the radio, seeing it on the TV shows.

The date is February 11th, 2015.

Sundance is hidden?

I think a good addition to the list would be Red Lodge, Montana.

What? No Killington and Mont Tremblant?

First time I've ever seen a Midwest ski area on any of these top-anything lists: Mt. Bohemia, MI

Unfortunately they're correct about everybody being in the same boat. I bet there are a good 40 to 50 areas from AK to CA that are currently closed. Last week I moved much of my Oregon trip to Idaho. We had a great time anyway, but even there a lot of the ski days were in the 50s.

Best hidden gem in my opinion is Discovery MT. So I agree with that one. Some others are way too on the radar. Also, Baldy in BC is an interesting choice, the main chairlift is shut down for the year. It is a fun place though, hopefully fully open again for next season. Pine Creek in WY is another great hidden gem that immediately comes to mind.

Le Massif is also in the northeast and even more hidden than MRG. Why on earth would Killington be on this list?

Why on earth would Killington be on this list?

I was making a pun regarding how god-awfully horrible ski resort lists typically are.
