South: N/A
East: Flims-Laax Falera, Switzerland
West: The Canyons (namely Snowbird and Alta)

North: Whistler/Blackcomb, BC

South - Ski Apache, NM
East - Mt. Abrahms (Maybe Blue Hills)

Saddleback is SLIGHTY(less than a mile) farther north than Jay. Sugarloaf is definitely father north.
Snowbird is farther west than Solitude and quite a bit farther west than JHMR.

Myself:
North = Crystal Mtn, WA (2 degrees farther north than Jay, about same latitude as Quebec City)
East = Tenny Mtn
South = Snowshoe, WV
West = Crystal Mtn, WA

NOrd - Whistler

North: Stowe
South: NA
West: Hunter
East: Southington? I've skied at areas more east than that, but they were more North East.

Southington would qualify as South for you, no? I think HPD means the areas most NSEW based on longitude/latitude. So, for instance Loon is further East than Southington so Loon would be your East choice (not sure if you've skied further East than that.) This might help for the NE ski areas anyway.

North: Sugarloaf/USA
South: Powder Ridge
East: Sugarloaf/USA
West: Hunter

Cool thread idea, HPD! :beer:

I always forget how far south Southington is from here. :roll: For that matter I did ski Powder Ridge once back in the day too...

Anyway I didn't pick Loon for East because it's mostly North. HPD specified directly N,S,E, and W, not the furthest N,S,E, and W. Stowe is almost directly North of me, Hunter is mostly West, I guess Southington is mostly South and actually Sundown is pretty East from here. Otherwise, yes, Loon is the furthest East I've skied...

From where you live what ski area have you skied that is the furthest directly North, South, East, and West?

Am I reading too much into the question again?

 

[kickstand]

neat topic.....

North: Tremblant
South: Wachusett
East: Sunday River
West: Whistler

 

[Justin10]

North: Jay most likley
South: Yawgoo Valley(RI) but i dont like to count that...so....WaWa
East: Sugarloaf/Sunday River, whichever one is farther east
West: The Canyons

 

[dmc]

West: Hunter

wow... You've never skied out west?

Your going to freak out when you do!!!! 8)

I like my interpretation better.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

North: Iron Mountain (I think that's north of Sunday River)
South: Wilmot
East: Sunday River
West: Alta

Nope. In fact, I haven't traveled that far West for any reason. Furthest West I think I've ever been is Detroit. :roll:

[Brettski]

North: Sunday River - 8 hours
East: Mountain Crack - 40 minutes (It's harder to get an East, other than Flying)
South: Cape may ( ;-) )
West: Whistler/ Blackcomb (Air Canada Sucks)

Sunday River is 4 degree longitude East of New Jersey. Although it is also North of you :wink:

Additionally, the Alps are 1-2 degrees north (at 46 to 47 degrees north) of Vermonts northern border (at 45 degrees north) possibly making those mountain the farthest north and east that some people have skied. Although Tremblant is about the same latitude as the southern side of the Alps.

Am I reading too much into the question again?

I put directly cause I was trying to get out of the southwest thing. For sure the mountains I've skied in Colorado and Utah are further South by latitude then Hunter, but then most NE skiers would have to have the same answer for South and West.
