hard choice...i ski at waterville but its not the biggest mountain,,,just has an ILLL park...one, if not the, best on the east. Stratton is good. dont go to sugarloaf or loon.

Okemo and killington are best for park mt snow has a really good park too jay peak is obviously the best. it compares to many western resorts pretty good park but they get soo much snow and have such nice steeps and glades you wont spend any time in the park. thats my review Ive skied every major resort in ma, nh and vermont soo thats what I think. I say go jay.

sometimes I can, like, read peoples minds... its like I have Espn or something...

Jay for sure and don't even bother with the park. Although good there's so much better to do there then jib.

for vermont skiing, definitely okemo or statton, i really enjoyed okemo, and sratton was smaller but good too. MAd river glen is a must for east coast skiers. Try to plan going there after it snowed.

Québec city area has 3 great mountains, Mont-Ste-Anne good long and steep runs, Stoneham has the best park and Le massif has a great mountain with a great view on the st lawrence river and great terrain. no more than 6 hours away and a good party town.
