I joined a few months ago but just saw this section.
I live in NYC. I've been a regular at Mount Snow VT since I was a kid in the 80s. Now I ski there with my family about every other weekend and holidays. My wife and I used to do annual trips to ski at various locations in the West (we met skiing in Lake Tahoe) but haven't done so since we had kids over 10 years ago. I spent one fantastic winter working/skiing in Park City.
I obviously have a fondness for Mount Snow but feel like I have a sober sense of its strengths and weaknesses. To me it represents a reasonable trade-off between quality/quantity of terrain and proximity to NYC.
My favorite ski destination is Fernie in BC but it's a bit of a haul to get there.
I have been at different times a skier, skier/snowboarder and, now, skier/telemarker. The telemarking was initially to allow me to enjoy myself at slow speeds when my kids were first learning but now it's just a really fun way to get down the mountain (or up the mountain on days when the lift lines are long).
