Fairly regularly the topic of resort weather as a result of the facing-polar-direction comes up. Does anyone know of a list of resorts and the direction they face? If not, I'd like to compile one, for the northeast mts. Post what you know if each mountain and I'll compile it. Thanks!

not sure what you mean by "facing-polar-direction"

anyway, i had a compass on the single at mrg, it points almost dead on southwest, which obviously gives the slope a northeast aspect.

google earth might be your friend here.

If you end up using Google Earth to figure it out I can hook you up with a .kmz file that has most of the mountains in the NE in it..
