[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With few exceptions, people who ski come from families with some disposable income and parents who are free on the weekends.

Skiing (like a lot of activities) seems to attract a special class of people who try their hardest to make it elite. See: anyone on the East Coast who yammers ad nauseam about shitty East Coast skiing conditions and how much better it is to ski out west every.damn.time the topic of skiing comes up. Oh my gaaaassssh, you just don't even know what good skiing is until you've been out west! Poor thing. [/quote]

Have you ever been out west? IT IS way better just due to topography and snow conditions. Just like North (VT, ME etc) is way better then the mid-atlantic. [/quote]

I have (we go to Park City the week after Christmas every year).

But we also ski in NY most weekends (Holiday Valley near Buffalo is our home resort) and go up to Vermont over MLK. We usually do Stowe or Okemo.

I’ve had great skiing experiences in the NE.

My favorite was actually one year at Whiteface often called “Iceface” but due to a confluence of things, conditions were wonderful and I had the best time ever. [/quote]
