Help Out - Tell me about your home mountain

A few friends and I were trying to figure out where to take a trip this year and while searching online I realized how ridiculously hard it was to just get a good overview of what's available and how much it costs.  The only way was to drill down from state -> resort -> price -> repeat.  I wanted to go the other way around.

So over the weekend I put together a super light-weight site/tool to do this.  It lists all the mountains, their price, etc, and is completely searchable/sortable.  Check it out here:
http://LiftSift.com

I've put in (by hand) close to a 100 resorts, but there are still at least 200 more to go.  Anyone can add/edit the list, so please help me out and add (or edit) your home mountain.  I think what might take me days to do on my own we could accomplish in hours if everybody helped out.  Thanks for any and all help!

All I can really tell you is my home mountain is not the best but its all I really have within 2 hours driving distance. Its about 45 mins away from me and has some parks.... so its good enough for me.

Here is a trail map: http://pknpk.com/Images/trailmaplarge.gif
