Of these, probably Jay. My true answer: ”whoever has the best conditions”, Berkshire East, Magic, MRG, Sugarbush, Stowe, Smuggs

I voted for all of them. They are all good ski areas. I'm even good with McIntyre in Manchester, NH for a morning of turns. As long as there is a lift, and some downhill to ski its all good.

McIntyre is 15 minutes from my home. Maybe I should start skiing there everyday!!!! Any skiing is good skiing!!!

I voted for a place I've never skied because the grass is always greener...
Yepp, we're lucky to have so much so close.

Jay is awesome - but it is 9 hours away from me 🙃. It'd be Gore if it were listed.

On a typical day though, the choice is between Montage, Elk, Blue Knob, or some lesser place...

Wasn't long ago I'd have said Stowe. Then it changed. So it became Wildcat. Then it changed. Now it's Saddleback. Hopefully it doesn't change.

Killington is really the only New England area I get to these days so it gets my vote. I am to this day a huge fan of Loon as well but we have been kind of migrating out west more and more so I haven't been in a couple of years.IMG_0701.JPG
Little Killington stoke. This was a good day at the big K

What’s best for us is the one we have a home at, SR.
I am sure some folks would find skiing one mountain regularly boring, and sometimes it is, but we have a good group of friends and always find a way to have a good time.
A trip out west, maybe a trip to see the SiL in Vt and usually find our way to SL for reggae weekend certainly breaks the year up.

Not dissing you but If I had a house there I would hit BOM and Abram from time to time just to mix it up.

We have been to Abrams a few times.
We have done the black and white side country at BOM but never ridden the lift.

When I look at Saddleback it looks like heaven on earth. One HUGE Bowel... As we all know the further east one goes the crowds fall off.
