Last season I got to ski a few places that I've never been.  Henrik, Phil and Inspired is touring to mostly small ski areas.  Do you have a hidden gem ski area?

Whaleback Mtn. New Hampshire. not necessarily the best skiing/parks, but always the most fun times due to the great crew of people that own/run/ski there

I have to represent the hill where I first learned to ski.. or slide uncontrollably rather. Mission Ridge in the Qu'Appelle Valley near Regina, Saskatchewan. It also happens to be the home hill of some bros by the name of Craig & Mark McMorris.. you might have heard of them. Mission Ridge is pretty pathetic with a vertical drop of 292 feet (89m) haha but I will always have fond memories of it.

Ha ha ha... Yeah, you are right.  That is always a big question: Who wants to give away a good secret?  BUT, if you don't tell, then I don't get to shred at a cool new spot.  So, tell me your favorite small or unknown ski area. 

Bridger Bowl used to be on the unknown list, but I think it's pretty "known" now.  Snowbasin is sick.

All of mine have been mentioned, haha

Trollhaugen, Las Vegas Ski Area, and Ski Bowl are all so fucking cool & have really good vibes at all times.

Snowstar in Andalusia, IL was also a nice surprise for me a few seasons ago.

Pico Mountain in killington vt. Lots of vertical, no crowds, steep with classic narrow New England trails. Despite the fact that this place is next to killington (and owned by killington) it is still a hidden gem.
