Great Skiing Resorts Blog

I want to go skiing in Europe, I would like to know which are the best and how they stack up to the Canadian rockies. Also, I would also like to know which resorts have good night life, because skiing without drinking is not fun.

Burton’s poaching program states that two of the resorts are on federal forest land. Which ones are these? Please give me a source.

I know it is NOT a generalization. But I have seen plenty of those mid-age skiers are pretty rude to snowboarders at ski resorts. They ski around like they should be the only people on the slopes. Of course, there are snowboarders out there that are not considered to others. But most of the snowboarders that I have seen in CA (at least) are fairly nice. Snowboarders pay just as much at the resort and deserve to be there.

My aunt insists to me that there is a resort where one can ski or go inner tubing in the winter that is not too far from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I think we need to get closer to the Poconos, but she won’t listen.
Does anyone know of any resorts where one can ski and/or go inner tubing in the winter that is also near Philadelphia?

10 points for best answer. I always come back and pick best answer.

I have been searching for some sort of public transportation to take me to the ski resorts but I can’t find anything! If there isn’t anything, there needs to be! Oh and I live in the Denver Metro Area. Even something within 30 miles of me would suffice.

This will be my 1st time skiing in North America (I’m from Brazil, we usually go to Chile and Argentina), so I want to be 100% sure I made a good choice.

What are the ski resorts that are sure to be open by early December?

Thanks!!!
For those who’re saying my question is too broad: I live in Brazil, so ANYWHERE in North America is an option for me.
Since I can only go in early December, I’m aware most of the ski stations will be opening - or still closed.
I’m counting with your expertise to help me out! Thanks for you help!

Hi there,

If I don’t use any lifts in a ski resort( my friend is going to teach me), should I pay any other admission type fees? I live in Boston so probably I will go to Mount Sunapee, Killington, Wachusett, or Sugarloaf.

I appreciate any answer

I think it is wrong. The only reason why I want to work for them is because you can ski for free if you do. I have an ethical dilemma, I guess. What do you think?


Submitted by: Cake17

Ski Roundtop (1-2 hours)
Ski Liberty (1-2 hours)

My wife and I and our 6 yr old are planning a trip for early december to go skiing and play in the snow. We’d probably pick Utah, Colorado or Tahoe…But any others will do as well. I know that some Mountain areas have more severe weather than others and was wondering which ones tend to be the less severe as we are not used to the cold weather.
