Maine vs. New York

[mattchuck2]

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.

I went to college in Maine (an hour from Sugarloaf) and had the All East College Pass for 4 years. Now I live in Upstate NY and I've had the Gore/Whiteface pass for the last 5 years. Therefore, I feel pretty well qualified to make this call. And the correct answer is:

Maine.

I'm guessing Farmington

I've only skiied Maine so I can't really comment. I'd like to try all of New York's offerings just because :-D. I assume the closer to the city I get the more I would have to deal with the likes of Victoria Gotti's kids on snowboards...and that's a reason to stay in Maine all by itself.... :uzi:

Yep. Class of 2002.

Farmington is only 1/2 an hour to the Loaf.

But I still vote for New York, just because there are fewer Red Sox fans.

Interesting....the image shows the Sugarloafer as the one WITHOUT the face mask..:lol: (shows the designer never skied the Loaf in January... :lol
Greg, this really tugs @my brain man.....I grew up in upper NYS (60s-early 70s) ....but the depressing family wasn't into doing things....thus, never tried skiing....never got up to experience the Adirondacks in Winter....and in Spring & Fall for that matter;-) Everytime I now continue on past Killington/Rutland into NYS I find myself in total awe of the Adirondacks. Absolutely love the peaks & valleys of NY, VT, & NH....but also love Maine for what it is.
Sugarloaf may be a 1+hr commute, but on the back road shortcuts there's no traffic whatsoever.

No, mostly skiing, hiking and drinking. Although I didn't belong to the outingclub.

Maine. There's fewer joeys in the way.

 

[sledhaulingmedic]

NY has WHiteface and some great BC ops, but the trifecta of 'Loaf, Saddleback and SR is tough to beat Maine's a little short on BC, but does have Katahdin.

Hands down, Maine

Maine. There's fewer joeys in the way.
