Resort Baby Names

So, we're having our first kid in December and we want to give our kids skiing-related names (probably end up having 3 or 4 kids). My idea is to give them all resort names. So far we've got:
Aspen (girl)
Brighton (boy)
Sierra (girl)
Jackson (boy)

other options: Camden, Crystal, Bridger, Canyon...
My wife wants to know if there are more options, but I'm running out of ideas. I was thinking maybe run or chair-names from resorts could work, or other snow related words. Any ideas (besides Big Squaw, Whitefish...etc.)?

Brighton is awesome for a boy. Not so sure about aspen for a girl. Everything else is okay.

Yes! I laughed at that.
If it's a girl, call her Nintendo Terrain Park

Squaw is probably a bad choice.

crystal sounds like some black strippers name
brighton sounds like a girls name, but thats prob cause i knew a chick named brighton.



you could name your kid wes, then for the middle name, lerblackholme, even better if your last name is holme, or holmes.



kicking horse....


...if your native american?

arizona snowbowl...thats a good one


seriously though, i've always thought pollard was a good first name, but switch rodeo 7 might be good too, or misty if its a girl and you want her to be a porn star.

There was a girl I went to high school with named Brighton Early. No joke. Needless to say, she was the target of a lot of jokes.

I hate survivor man.  Its just not entertaining.  On the other hand bear grylls has a great personality and he does crazy shit all the time.  Maybe he might have some issues with faking shit but I dont care, I am still entertained.  And you cannot fake the free climbing he does or a shit load of other stuff. 

Sorry to get off topic.  Im having trouble deciding if aspen is such a bad name like everyone else says cause I could see it working out well.  My sugestion is Sage or Steele.  Ive always liked those two names.

i dont know about sierra, i can think of 8 girls  in my class and 3 in lower classes with that name. its just too common. but who knows maybe not for the group this kids gonna fall under. and yes bear grylls is a woman, survivor man taught bear everything he knows. but one thing survivorman doesnt have? the name bear..so badass

if your from the laurentian area, Avila?
I really dont know.
or you could go down a really big list of baby names and pick out ski resorts for more ideas rather than brainstorming?
