[Greg]

Best ski state?

Maine Top 3: Sugarloaf/USA, Sunday River, Saddleback
New York Top 3:: Whiteface, Gore, Hunter

Discuss.

New York by a landslide/avalanche. If Maine were so great, I would have skied there. But, since I haven't, it can't be that good.

Anyway, Maine was always too far for me. I've only been to Acadia National Park in the summer. Seems like a nice place, though. Good lobster.

I second that. Besides, its says right on the signs when you enter our state "Maine, the way life should be."

Maine, simply because there's less New Yorkers to deal with Oh wait a minute I grew up in NY

 

[Vortex]

It this a trick question? go to Ny or got to Maine? East coast and DR Jeff said it well. Sorry Ny. Maine has it.


if I wanted to be in NY I would. blah blah,, both are good. gald i don't live south

Due to the distance between the major ski areas in both states and the lack of east-west highways in northern new england i doubt there are too many people that have skied enough in both states to make an accurate comparison.

But I still vote for maine, just because there are fewer yankees fans.

 

[snoseek]

maine people are pretty cool(as are the ski areas). then again i've never really spent any time in n.y. so i know nothing.

I would have to say New York but that is only because I spend 99.9% of my time there. Do you really think Hunter is the 3rd best resort in NY? I cant think of anywhere better but I would not think that off the bat.

It has to be Holiday Valley and not at 3rd best, but 2nd best. Afterall Ski Magazine says so

I haven't been to Belleayre or Windham, but based on what I've heard, I think I'd like Hunter best of those three. I guess Plattekill is up there when the conditions are right. Never been there either.

That guy on the right looks amazingly like HPD...

 

[deadheadskier]

You forgot the Yankees vs Red Sox part, but that's still pretty darn good

 

[deadheadskier]

actually, bring the Stowe and Sunday river over to the Maine side with the Red Sox and we're good.

Check out NY. He's really sweating it up.
