We've had this thread every year, I think, and mine stay the same: Smuggs and Sugarloaf. I'll add Saddleback to the list, though. I haven't skied anywhere in NH or Maine, actually, but Sugarloaf and to a lesser extent Saddleback are the ones I feel like I should get to.

Cochrans.

Shawnee

Lost Valley

Mt. Greylock Ski Club

All those small community areas in Maine

I've had the same list for a few years now:

Stowe
Whiteface
Wildcat
Cannon
Burke

Been there, but would also like to check out Gore again with better conditions.

Stowe (can't believe I've not skied there. I might fix that next week)
Smuggs
Magic

Never skied Sunapee or Ragged but I'm not motivated to.

Curious about Whiteface but dragging my ass down there is tough.

I feel like I should ski Shawnee Peak.

I'm typing this from a motel near Saddleback. I'm psyched to tear it up tomorrow!

I'd like to try any place that I haven't been yet, which is a ton of places. Unfortunately I didn't ski any new areas this season because of family obligations.

I'm trying to get to 100 mountains skied (currently up to 60 with 3 new ones in 2009), so I have been picking them off when I can. My list of areas I want to get to has more to do with adding to my list than anything else. Hoping to grab 5 of these next season.

NH: Wildcat, Bretton Woods, Pats Peak, Whaleback
VT: Jay, Magic, MRG
ME: Titcomb, Black, Camden Snowbowl
MA: Nashoba Valley, Bradford, Butternut, Berkshire East, Jiminy Peak
CT: Mohawk
NY: Gore, Windham, Tuxedo Ridge, Holiday
NJ: Campgaw
PA: Elk, Camelback
RI: Yawgoo

Pretty odd looking list now that it's typed!

Ahh, the Mighty Gaw, it's rare to see that on a list of places people want to ski, in fact you may be the first. I've skied there many, many times - I used to live 10 minutes away from it. A 5 minute lift ride for a 10 second run, but I used to get 20 runs in 2 hours - 5200' of vertical. A lot of people might dis it but I had my best powder day ever there.

I need to complete my NJ list, figure I'll go for a couple hours and amuse myself. How would you compare it to Mt Peter or Hidden Valley...I'm expecting it to be more like Mt Peter. It also makes my list because I added Blue Hills this year and it seemed well run, so my expectations are for a similar experience at Campgaw.

There is not alot left as I have been to most of the ski areas in New England. I have never skied off the true summit at Whiteface, so I would like to do that as it's never been opened when I visted.

Massachusetts is offically 100% complete with the addition of Ski Ward last December as is Connecticut and Rhode Island.

Vermont has Bear Creek and Cochran still remaining unskied while Maine and New Hampshire still have all the smaller resorts still to ski.

Next year we hope to ski Whaleback, Tenney, Granite Gorge, Bear Creek and Cochran.
