Just interested to see how far of a drive it is for most of you guys. for me it's an hour and a half up to bear creek, PA. I'm so jealous of people who have an easy 20 minute drive up to the mountain

I live about 20 minutes from Montage Mountain PA
Then about 45 minutes to Big Boulder, and oddly enough about 2 hours to Bear

2.5-3 hours to most mountains in Southern NH & VT

About 4 hours to the bigger mountains in the northern parts like Sugarbush or Stowe

I don't exactly have a "home/local mountain".
