A. Slides @ Whiteface
B. Snowfields @ Sugarloaf

A. I've never skied at Sugarloaf, but I've heard the snowfields are only about 500 vert. feet, The Slides are 1,800. MC2, I remember reading a post of yours last year where you wrote that you never skied the Slides. You should try them you might like them better. Although, I have to admit they're not for everyone.

A. Jiminy Peak
B. Bromley

I've never said I didn't like the slides . . . And yes, I would like to ski them sometime this year. They may not be for everyone, but they're definitely for me (preferably on a weekday)

A.Sunday River
B. Killington

B. Killington, it's got more of the narrow trails I like, more natural snow, and it's much easier to get around compared to SR.

A. Blue Mtn
B. Sno Mtn (formerly Montage)

 

[maplevalleymaster]

B becuase it has more expert terrain. Montage seems less crowded also.


A Burke
B Jay

 

[skibum1321]

B - even though it gets crowded and skied out pretty quickly these days

A. Sugarbush
B. Sugarloaf

 

[Greg]

A. Sugarbush
B. Sugarloaf

Finally! Two mountains I've actually skied!

A. Only a very slight edge due to closer drive, more consistent snow and the MRG option. Good one!

• Loon
• Mount Snow

 

[snoseek]

b. for too many reasons to list.

a. stratton
b. okemo

 

[kcyanks1]

b. for too many reasons to list.

a. stratton
b. okemo

A, but that's tough. I'm going with A because I've only skied one day at Stratton, whereas I've skied a handful of days at Okemo, so I've convinced myself for sure that Okemo doesn't have much I like, while I haven't based only on my own experience been able to say the same about Stratton (of course, I know from a variety of sources that Stratton is flat and uninteresting).

A. Smuggs
B. Sugarloaf

 

[Angus]

B - never been to smuggs

how about mid-sized, close proximity competitors

A: Crotched
B: WaWa

 

[hammer]

B - never been to smuggs

how about mid-sized, close proximity competitors

B. Ragged

B. Whaleback
