Skiing in the Northeast
See All Lists
1. Bromley Mountain Ski Resort
In a state that seems to be constantly under a clouds and ice in Winter, Bromley seems to be perpetually sunny.
I had a Giant Slalom race here in 2002, and had a chance to explore the mountain after the competition. It's a great mountain for…More »
2. Catamount Ski Area
AAAAAAH all of the resorts close to NYC are complete s**tmounds, but this is certainly a better alternative to the crook-ridden Hunter. At the end of the morning, I can have skied the whole mountain twice over. If you're a good skier and you come…More »
3. Gore Mountain Ski Resort
Resorts in the Northeast where you can get a full day's skiing in if you no longer ski in a snowplow are few and far between, and there are even fewer outside of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. But Gore Mountain up in the Adirondacks is just that.…More »
4. Holiday Valley Resort Area
Three words describe Holiday Valley: LAKE EFFECT HEAVEN.
I'm a former ski racer, and I'm very picky about my terrain. Holiday Valley definitely ranks up there as one of the best ski resorts in the east. While it only has about 700 vertical feet, it…More »
5. Hunter Mountain
Stop, people. This mountain is awful.
Any place that advertises as having "100% Snowmaking!" has got to be lousy. And it is. The only positive is that it's about an hour from NYC.
In my 20 years of skiing, this is the only resort in eight states,…More »
6. Jiminy Peak the Mountain Resort
Did you know that this was the first GREEN ski resort in North America? It's powered by one massive wind turbine. There is a good variety of terrain, and mostly natural snow. In addition to good ski trails, there are also tons of clinics offered by…More »
7. Mad River Glen Ski Area
Really is "ski it if you can". Very little snowmaking, and MRG can get COLD. But on a sunny day or a powder day, it's heaven. You don't have the people who are really there to get drunk, stoned snowboarders, or lousy skiers. This is paradise for a…More »
8. Middlebury College Snowbowl
What a fantastic mountain! I would never have skied here if it weren't for my stint in the Vermont Alpine Racing Association. The Middlebury Snowbowl is marked by a few very long, very varied trails, and there is a lodge at the bottom with large…More »

Nobody's reviewed MSA yet? Shame on vous! Mont Sainte-Anne is a lovely little place near Quebec City. My parents used to come here on long weekends from NY when they were still courting in all seasons. The skiing is decent, and the area is nothing…More »
10. Mont Tremblant Ski Resort
Mont Tremblant, je t'aime.
Located in the heart of Quebec, Mt Tremblant is nothing short of charming, from the village to the mountain itself. I admit, the mountain can get COLD! I almost detracted a star for that, but there's so much other stuff to…More »
11. Okemo Mountain Resort
Disclaimer: I was on the Killington ski team for three years, so I have slight bias. But that also means I've been here countless times
Whoever calls this the best skiing in the east hasn't been to Mt. Washington (Tuckerman's Ravine, anyone?),…More »
12. Smugglers' Notch Resort
I really love this mountain. We had slalom races here every year when I was a VARA member, and it was always a great experience. We got to explore the terrain and it's a fun mountain, with good variety of terrain. I saw everything from families to…More »
13. Stowe Mountain Resort
I'm convinced that Stowe is the coldest mountain on the east coast after Mt Washington, and it might even have the latter beat. The first time I ever got frostbite, it was at Stowe: at 9 AM, it was 30 degrees and sunny. Then the sky began to cloud,…More »
14. Stratton Mountain Ski & Summer Resort
Stratton! How could I forget to review you? Aaah, well all those ads in the subway reminded me.
Seems like I'm in the minority on Yelp as an expert skiier reviewing this place. Not going to lie, cost didn't factor into my review because I always skied…More »
15. Whiteface Mountain
Let's just do this the easy way.
Positives about Whiteface:
-FANTASTIC trails--variety of terrain
-plenty of expert trails
-excellent lodge facilities
-small lift lines
-cheap tickets
-mostly real snow
-Gondola
-near Lake Placid, NY,which is a wonderful…More »
16. Windham Mountain
I think Windham can be best described as "decent". Since the advent of global warming, this is probably the best ski resort in the Catskills, and for day trip skiing from New York City, this takes the cake. The snow is decent, though unfortunately…More »
