Take the longer drive or flight, and go out west. Anything out there is at least 100 times better than here.

yeah dude i would love to go out west but we're trying to keep the expences pretty limited for this trip so we thought the next best thing would be east coast

You'll wanna price out the entire trip to both areas first. A flight from Ohio (both Cleveland and Cincinnati) to Burlington, VT is about the same price as to Denver, CO. You're not flying into a major airport by going to BTV.

Killington's a horrible rip off for a vacation. It's a touristy, weekender's mountain. No village, long lines, and lots of rude soccer mom's from Mass, CT, NY, and NJ.

My little Johnny will ski wherever he damn well pleases! I paid for a ticket!

You do not want to go there.

Might as well go the other way and make it 20 hours to Denver.  Colorado is so much sicker than the east coast, it's well worth the 20 hour drive for a week of sick skiing.
