I was just wondering, where are some good parks close to Lousiville, Ky? Like in 5-6 hours driving distance, Perfect North and Paoli are my home mountains and I was just looking to ski a new place with some friends. I heard about snowshoe but is that any good?

Thanks.

Haha. I go there and i have to admit that the parks are garbage, most of the time. Once in a while it will be good but most of the time it is pretty bad.

It's a good 10-11 hour drive to Boulder from Louisville... I'd say if you really want to go somewhere make it a weekend trip and just go balls out and head up to Loon, it will be well worth the extra driving. (17-18 hours)
