Why go to Shasta or Mammoth when Tahoe is barely two hours away?\n\nDo yourself a favor and never, ever go to Boreal again. that place is beat. My favorite places in Tahoe are Sugar Bowl, Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows and Kirkwood. As a beginner you would probably really like Northstar. Their amenities are amazing and it's a great place to learn.

I like Wildcat and Loon Mtns. When I lived in Mass, Wachusett was fun because it was so close. Cranmore is nice in NH too. Spend a weekend and shop tax-free at the outlets in North Conway

First off, both of those places are very expensive, if you want a good but not populated place go to Ski Cooper. It doesn't have nearly as many runs but there is no one there and you can get a 3-Day pass for the price of getting a 1-Day at Breck or Vail. (Your gonna love Colorado!!)

That all depends on what you mean by "best".  If you want a resort with a nice village, lots of shops and great restaurants, then it's probably Mt. Tremblant.  If you're looking for a no-nonsense place with great terrain and a good deal, then it's definitely Jay Peak in Vermont.  Last time I was there (which was a while ago), they took Canadian dollars on par with US, making it a great deal if you're coming from Canada.  It's a fun mountain with pretty much no 'out of bounds' and great glades--they'll let you board the entire mountain.  Also has one of those big aerial trams that goes bottom to top.

I love it.  I have been skiing for over 40 years and hope to be able to continue skiing for at least another 20 years.  Alpine skiing is exhilerating.  Cross country skiing is certainly an excellent aerobic exercise.\nSome of the places where I have enjoyed skiing are in Quebec: Mt. Tremblant, Mont Ste. Anne; and in Kitzbuehel, Austria.

Horesback riding, golf (signature courses as well as par 3 and mini golf).  There are night time light shows, swimming, fishing hiking, horseback riding, paddle boats "fine" dining (which I didn't find that great).  In the winter there is skiing also.\n\nI'm sure you've seen the website:\nhttp://www.oglebay-resort.com/\n\nI've been there.  It's nice for a state run "resort".

It depends on your ability level and the type of terrain you're looking for.  Sunday River in Maine has a wide variety, Killington is huge with lots of parks and a 230 ft superpipe, and loads of bump runs. Jay Peak near the Canadian border is Pow loaded and for the more advanced folks. Stowe is an all time favorite-one beginner hill and another for intermediates/advanced. Killington is the closest to where I live and no matter what the conditions, there are always some good riding because of their incredible snowmaking.

Being from Vermont where the best skiing is the season typically is from middle of December to late March early April.  You usually get a warm spell that melts the snow around christmas to New Years.  Febuary is the coldest month, and usually Febuary and March and the best times to go skiing.\n\nIn the rockies, it is mid to late november to April, sometimes May if it is a good year.  And they don't face the warm spells as much because of the higher elevations.

Nevada. Right on the border (it's near Sacreamento), there's Lake Tahoe. Awesome skiing place.

Squaw is probably a better moutain which gets more snow but for everything else (food/party) I'd recommend Heavenly because there's some casinos is at the base of the mountain.

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!

A  ATV SHOP OR A SKI LODGE WOULD BE MY BEST BET

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!

I would first research which counties have the best accomodations, as well as the best fun stuff. Then, contact that county's Chamber of Commerce, requesting information. They'll send you a packet of information regarding the things available in their county. Then you go on the internet and see what's available. I live in central Wisconsin, but have visited the Park Falls area, which is very beautiful, but other than snowmobiling, doesn't have much to offer. I've heard that the Minoqua area is a happening place. Check it out. <*)))><
