It seems like we all either go one way or the other. Some prefer the smaller hills with unique local vibes and others prefer the mega resorts with awesome amenities. I've been to quite a few mega resorts and while I always had fun, they all left me feeling like something was missing. At smaller ski areas, even if I am there for just a day, I always feel immersed in the energy of the place and overall more connected to the operation. This is huge for me as these experiences have been some of my best memories and are the reason I keep skiing. I just don't seem to get that connection at the mega resorts. The "small town feel" of ski areas and how they bring people together towards a common goal of happiness is what I love about them. I honestly feel like mega resorts try to create this authenticity and fail for the most part.
