Epic's spell check works in IE as evidence by tromano becoming Romano. 
Wildcat is my favorite.
Cranmore is second for sentimental reasons.
Sunday River a close 3rd
I also like the Presidential Range.

Brilliant!
I may as well reply to the op while I am here...
I liked 7springs when I lived in DC. Cheap pass and good mountain vibe with the Pittsburgh influence. Never thought that driving 8 hours from my door to VT was worth it when I could be in UT in 5 from my door.

honestly you cant say tuckermans than say any resort in your list or vice a versa....
Favorite Ski resort is the question. I am sure most on here would read if it was truly best place to skis a well mountain.
Mt washington
Chic chocs
Mt Marcy
Kitana
Mansfield(which happens to be stowe.)

Technically Mt. Washington would count as a ski area; Great Glen runs cats for skiing. I believe they never go above the 'Halfway House'.

What or where is Kitana? Was that a Suzuki super bike? Do you mean Mt.Katahdin in ME? And lets end this talk about MRG being a ski resort. It is a ski area, resort implies way to many amenities that I hope never would be there.Originally Posted by BushwackerinPA

I liked Whiteface a lot. The very steep and long runs were favorites of mine.

I have only skied 5 places in the east: Martock and Wentworth in Nova Scotia...but these aren't worth talking about.
I really liked Jay and Stowe though.
Sugarloaf was fun as well.

Hey, I worked at Okemo... if you really know the ins and outs of the mountain, it can be a ton of fun.

Yea Okemo is a nice place. I havent been back there in a few years, but I remember it being an enjoyable mountain to ski.

1 Sugarbush
2 Jay
3 Sugarloaf if snowfields are open
I reserve the right to change up my mind completely though.
Sunday River might even make the list.
Stowe when not crowded.

Haystack was a fun little mountain. Next to Mt. Snow.
Anyone know what's happened to it? I know it went private a few years ago. For snowmobilers I think.

I am going with mostly the usual suspects.
1. Jay
2. Sugarbush
3. Stowe
4. Le Massif
5. Okemo
6. Saddleback
Jay is #1 because of the great powder days I have had there over the past 25 years I have been visiting. Stowe is Stowe! I've only been to Le Massif and Saddleback a day or 2 each but really liked 'em. Probably hit Le Massif again this year President's week. Sugarbush was the first big area I went to when I was an impressionable teen and I have loved it ever since. Okemo was our go to area for years when my son was younger and not as good a skier as he is now. It's a favorite because of all the great memories and it is a fun, well laid out hill with a great lift system and superior snow making and grooming. Doesn't hurt that we can drive there in under 3 hours as opposed to 5 for the northern VT areas. MRG is absent from the list becase I mostly ski weekends and holidays and have not been willing to line up for the single. I have skied and enjoyed MRG and plan to get back there eventually. Sugarloaf probably deserves an honorable mention here as does Mont Sainte Anne.
