Anyone here ski all the lift operated resorts in your state/region? I live in New England and there are a lot of small hills with a lift that I have never even heard of it, but would love to at some point say that I have skied. The one problem that has restricted me from doing it in the past, especially because I'm busy with college, is that I feel like you have to bail on a season's pass to save for lift tickets at individual mountains. You also spend a lot of time traveling, but I think it would be cool to experience so much different terrain and be able to say you accomplished something so cool. Definitely a goal of mine and would love to hear from anyone who has done this and how it went for you

It would be cool, just go to like 1-2 new mountains each year. Living in CO vail has corporate control over a bunch of mountains in my area so I can ride like 5 diff mountains. I have also had the super pass which let me go to copper, wp, steamboat, and eldora. I would love to go ski the resorts on the west tho!

Going to random small ass resorts is honestly one of the better parts of skiing. It's a lot of fun, everyone wants to shred with new people and it creates a new vibe.

I went to woodbury ski area in CT once a couple years ago before Killy opened. First day of the season and about one of the best I had that year because of the people and everything.

You don't need to forfeit a season's pass just go to a couple and check for any deals they might have. The east has a plethora of these places.

I've skied all the hills within 4 hours of my house minus the Canadian ones. Which is about 10 hills

I've been wanting to dedicate like a month for a trip farther east and ski as many hills as possible. Just travel around with my friends, sleep in the car or find couches to sleep on and get a feel for each area. It would be soo cool to meet and ski with a bunch of new people.

most certainly thankful to be able to ski some of the best terrain in the nation that's no less than an hours drive from my house as well as the best terrain parks, too. but growing up in MI is definitely great because skiing is somewhat present there with multiple hills in the metro Detroit area and other nice ones located up north.

Heard of some cool maps that have all the ski resorts on them, would be fun to get those and mark what resorts you make it to
