Is Mad River Glen considered a resort? Or a ski area? Is there a difference between a ski resort and a ski area?

Does it matter?

Does it matter?

I'm just curious..

No, Its really not a resort. I should have used "ski area" instead of resort but lets just go with it.

2. Sugarloaf
3. Sugarbush
4. Magic

Haven't been to too many...

1. Wildcat
2. Attitash
3. Black Mtn NH
4. Berkshire East
5. Okemo

 

[TheBEast]

1) Jay Peak
2) Stowe
3) Sugarloaf

4) Berkshire East (home mountain)

Top 3 are really my favorite places to ski for a lot of reasons, but mostly for great terrain (i.e. lost of great woods skiing). Have to throw in Berkshire East (although it really isn't in the same league as the top 3) as I ski probably 15-20 days there a season and with lots of snow the place can't be beat and is only 50 minutes from home!

Bigger ain't always better, or so my wife says...

BEast is a great old-school ski area. I'd put it up against a lot of the "Big Boys."

Jay
Bush

 

[kcyanks1]

1. MRG
2. Sugarbush
3. Stowe
4. Jay
5. Killington

Tempted to put Whiteface 5th, it's a tough call. If Whiteface were fully open more often I'd probably stick it above Killington.

1. Killington
2. Sugarbush
3. MRG
4. Burke
5. Stowe

 

[deadheadskier]

1. Stowe
2. Jay
3. Sugarbush
4. Sugarloaf
5. Smuggs

....Wildcat is closing in on my top 5 and MRG would be in there if not for lack of snowmaking. Don't get me wrong, I love it and think it has sick terrain, but I need to know there will be decent skiing to be had even during a low snowfall winter.
