I have to drive 2 hours to go to the best near by mountain( (sunday river)(if you call it near by).  the other two mountains shawnee peak and king pine, are incredibly small, yet only an hour away, anyone else have any crazy distances they have gone to ski somewhere, length to home mountain?, closest mountain??

My home mountain is the search bar and it's like 5 inches away. You should go there. Its only 5 inches away for you too.

Red Mountain is 3 km away, takes 20min or so to walk there, takes 3 minutes to drive.

other then that you got Salmo about a 45min drive away, and Whitewater which is about an hour away. Anything past that is like 4 hours or so.
