Top 10 East Coast Ski Resorts Under 1100

[BenedictGomez]

I haven't skied all those mountains but Camelback and Blue are not in the same league with Plattekill IMO.

That's an understatement! There's a reason I drive 3 hours to Platty rather than ~1 hour to Camelback or Blue Mountain. It's because while it's 3x the drive it's 4x the skiing.

I'll just come out and say it, what would Middlebury replace on this list? I've never been impressed with the college areas, Dartmouth included as well.

We skied both Dartmouth and S6 this year in the end the runs at Dartmouth are a lot better than S6. Especially when the runs across the way are open.

I'd nominate Pat's Peak and Whaleback. But MOunt Abram would be #1 if if just was a little bit smaller.

But MOunt Abram would be #1 if if just was a little bit smaller.

Kind of funny, cause the true vertical is at best 1,050, which is more than the 1,030 that the ski area used to claim.

In my humble opinion: Platty is tops, the completely ignored Catamount a close second. Mccauley, Kissing Bridge, Snow Ridge, Labrador & Bousquet all completely ignored but are better than 3/4 of this list. Bad list.

This list can not be based entirely on terrain.

 

[Rowsdower]

Not that I don't like Butternut, but yeah there's much better places under 1100' of vert. If we're going solely on terrain alone Butternut isn't even in the top ten.

No way. Camelback over Platty? Not even in the same league if you are talking actual skiing. If you want to factor in a fancy lodge, condos, etc..Ok, but that isn't skiing. I'll add that Platty's food is much better too.

That stuff is negative points. If you account for it, Plattekill wins by more.

Totally agree with that!

I really don't understand why Wawa is on this list. Except for location there are so many places better than it. It's too crowded and their terrain is hardly anything special.

Pretty sure the lists are by vote, so generally more popular/heavily trafficked mountains won out.

Awwww, come off it, Catamount should be where Butternut is on that list! The terrain is much more interesting/challenging.
