Where are some good places for Skiing in the Northeast?

Mount Snow is a great place that is not too challenging yet has a variety of terrain.  Its a big mountain but you are able to ski and see it all.  Killington is a lot bigger but has many trails.  Check out Stratton which is a beautiful mountain, Okemo, Smugglers Notch (challenging terrain).  Those are in Vermont.  New Hampshire and Maine also have great big mountain skiing.

Where ever there used to be a glacier, the northeast is a good place.  I live in upstate New York and go to school in Massachusetts and both areas are full of glacial erratics.  Long Island is just one big glacial erratic by itself.  Kinda neat, huh?

The nearest is at Tamworth - but well worth the trip. I live in the South East - so I have further to come. But I've tried the Milton Keynes indoor snow centre and it doesn't compare to Tamworth.Tamworth's slope is long and wide - with a dog-leg and bowl. It's groomed three times a day which is really nice. The instructors and staff there are incredibily friendly and helpful. I find that going once a month keeps my 'ski legs' in shape - so that when I go on a ski holiday I don't waste the first day catching up after a year away from the slopes. Have a look at the web site: http://www.snowdome.co.uk/ - take the interactive tour - then make the trip to Tamworth - you'll love it!  Discount sessions Mon, Wed, and Friday mornings. But more often than not there are 2 for 1 sessions.  As I go regularly I decided it was worth becoming a member. Can't wait for my next trip!

yeah, I went skiing there last winter, and it was awesome! I stayed in the area Pas de la Casa, and then did my skiing in Grandvalira. It was a great place, and there are pretty good and inexpensive places to stay there right near the pistes. Also the people there are really friendly and always willing to help you. Alot speak some english as well, if you dont know Spanish or French. If your into the nightclub scene there is a place called El Pandero on Avenue D'encamp in Pas de la Casa. It was pretty fun. All around there, there are plenty of resturants as well, you will never go hungry in Andorra!

depending on your skiing level i`d say andorra if you are just starting out and say meribel if you are a confident skier.\nThey are both good resorts and offer some very open skiing...meribel has the most testing runs and its linked to the 3valleys,the 3 valleys has so many runs to choose from altho andorra has quite a few aswell.\n\ngood luck

The best place would be "near where you are".\nThe reason being: you'd want to take several sessions over a period of time (a season, or once a week for 6 or 8 or 10 weeks), therefore having "easy access" to a hill would be my first criteria.\n\nSecond consideration: what level are you at now, and therefore, which determines what level of instruction you need.\n\nE.g. most hills/resorts offer begginer skier training, and do a reasonable job at it.  When it comes to expert level skiing, one would be more scrupulous in selecting coaches.\n\nMost ski resorts also offer packages (rent+learn) that are reasonably priced, that also gives one a chance to try out different equipment.\n\nBottom line:\nfor complete beginner, start at the nearest place, possibly with the "best package deal" available, and get comfortable with the basics of skiing. Then you're ready to explore the pleasures of skiing further afield.  That's when you'd really want to start driving/flying to other really neat skiing places!

Davos is a pretty good resort, linked reasonably well with Klosters.  It's got a far range of skiing/boarding available so would suit pretty much any ability.  There can be some really good powder too!  A couple of things I'd say though - 1) The linking between runs is not fantastic - you may find yourself taking your foot out of the binding and pushing far more than you'd like. 2) It's very expensive for eating/drinking out/

Crystal Mountain Resort in Thompsonville Michigan (Northern Lower Peninsula). It is a very cool area and they are very good at keeping you in the "ski lodge" theme. However, I don't know how their prices compare to other places and this is not actual "Mountain" skiing, so it would depend on your skill level and what you want for surroundings. I would recommend Banff in Canada otherwise.

1) Any GOOD skiing/snowboarding resort near the nyc area?\n\nHere are some ideas. I just googled nyc ski trips.\n\nhttp://nymag.com/nymetro/travel/features/n_8315//index.html\n\nAlso, check out Gore mountain, Hunter, Killington. Keep in mind the further from NYC you get, the less crowd you get. Northern Vermont is a little less congested, but more of a drive.\n\n2) Is it usually a day trip of overnight?\n\nOvernight. Most of these places are a minimum of 4 hours one way.\n\n3) How do you get there? driving your own, take a bus?\n\nI would just drive...but check out a travel company or ski club. They organize transportation and what not.\n\n4) Do you need to make any reservation at the resort?\n\nNo...well, yes, to stay at a hotel, that would be a good idea. Weekends can be booked pretty tight.\n\n5) Do you recommend getting your own gears?\n\nNo. Not unless you plan on skiing more than 10 times a year. You might not have checked that out yet, but ski gear is expensive.\n\n6) How much is admission?\n\nCheck the websites. You purchase what are called "lift tickets". One lift ticket is good for one day (there are variations such as half-day, or night also).\n\n7) What should I wear?\n\nLayers: a thermal top, long underwear, ski pants, turtleneck, sweater, jacket. Gloves or mitts are mandatory. A hat.\n\n8) Should I get a lesson?\n\nYES. You will waste a lot of money on travel and lift tickets if you don't spend on the lesson as well. One lesson gets you on the slopes. Most areas provide a "beginners special", providing rental gear, a lesson, and a lift ticket.

All resports have great ski schools, but you head up to eldora, ask for Eli.  He teaches kids in that age group, is a super nice fun guy, and you kid(s) will love him.  They're all good though.

Any number of open spaces including Harriman State Park, NY and Mohawk Trail State Forest, MA.\n\nI won't publish my favorites, but here is an article I wrote:

I am going to italy on a skiing holiday and what i found useful was going on websites like Thomas cook or First choice. They have a range of places to go to whatever level skier you are. They have everything included and you can choose how long you go away for and all for a fair price. Hope you have a great time!
