Cannon Mountain NH - first tramway in North America, home of Bode Miller and Nick Martini, the old man of the mountain (new hampshire symbol) was on the backside of the ski area, then it fell off

Cool thing about the Vegas ski resort is the awesome backcountry terrain and the fact that we are one of the only ski resorts with a howitzer cannon for avi blasting. Op don't be so quick to look over lvssr. It's a really sick mountain.

Hmm maybe the mountain itself because its a ACTIVE FUCKIN VOLCANO!
This mountain erupted last only 7 years ago and has frequent large eruptions every 50 years with a bunch of small ones in between.

Mt Ruapehu.

Le Relais has a T-Bar, so during the week you can lap the park pretty fast. It's also the funnest park in Quebec.

i have 2 mountains in my home town, the one i don't ski at just upgraded their lights to a LED set up. not sure how cool that is but seems like it might make night skiing better.

Okay, so when I'm not at college I ski Northstar, and think our coolest thing besides the Zypher lodge is the views we have. From on part of the mountain you see Lake Tahoe, form another you see a forest and Squaw, and then you overlook a valley. I ski at a pretty place.

UP in Montana I ski Big Sky, and I like our tram.

Volcano erupts like every 20 years, wipes everything out, they just rebuild it. #yotalia

The resort I ski used to be a playboy hotel, and in front of the lodge they even had a hot tub where the bunnies would be. Its pretty lame now.

i can't think of anything cool at wachusett, all there is, is long lift lines and people who can't ski.
