i want a list of small east coast mountains to visit this winter. i don't care if all they have is a tow and a single trail, though i would prefer at least 1 trail that is kinda gnarly.... rocks or tree shots or something... maybe a shed to jump over. whatever, let me know.

Oshawa Ski Club (otherwise known as Kirby to all who go often). Pretty much is a pimple on the earths ass in terms of height but Jess (previous park manager/designer) turned the park into something decent.

i'll check em out.

anything maine, new hampshire, vermont?

i went to black mtn in rumsford, maine a few yrs back, they had a t-bar to the top of the more "advanced stuff". a big group of us had a blast there. they had this one line where they were going to put in a new lift, so much fun. straight narrow line through prickers and over rocks.

for sure, if anyone want's to meet up to give my buddies and i a tour, we're down (and we'd appreciate it). right after we went to black mtn, we hit up big rock in mars hill, maine and some local kid showed us these rock slides and tight tree shots off of the top of the mtn. it was amazing to find that stuff at a relatively small hill in nowheresville. makes for good stories.

thanks everyone. keep it going.

i think suicide six is owned by the Woodstock Inn. i don't know if you need to stay there to shred there or what. there's another place like that next to killington, "bear creek", but you can buy tix ahead of time (super expensive but thursday/fridays include a supposed "fancy" lunch)

anyone ever been to that place you can see off of interstate 89 near st. albans vermont? it's at the end of some community development. 1 chair 2 trails.

oak mt. in NY 30 minutes from Gore, its got 1 chair, 2 T bars, 14 runs i think, one decetly steep bumb run no park, but there is a massive boulder that could be shaped into a perfect natural 30ft table just have to move some rocks out of the knuckle of the landing which i plan on fixing columbus day weekend so all i have to do in the winter is shape it and salt it.

Wintergreen Resort in Central Virginia... gets maybe 15 inches a year, but they have an incredible snow making system, so the snow is usually pretty good, and the park is decent.
