Places I've Skiied

Snowshoe (1500) in West Virginia
The place I learned to ski. A very bad place to learn to ski. But I'd love to go back, now that I know how. (Only part of the area is 1500 ft, the rest is probably half of that.)
Mad River Mountain (300) in Bellefontaine, Ohio
A bit steeper then Snow Trails (below), but not as much terrain (tiny vs. tinier).
Crystal Mountain (375) in Michigan
Better than Ohio skiing. But not quite as nice as Boyne, IMHO.
Boyne Mountain and Boyne Highlands (500,550) in Michigan
I loved it here. If you like trails, go to Boyne Highlands. If you like verticality, go to Boyne Mountain.
Bristol Mountain (1200) in New York
Nice place as I recall.
Whiteface Mountain, (3216) in Lake Placid, New York
Yikes. My only real ski resort (well, Snowshoe is pretty real, but not this real). I didn't actually get to ski much (not the full height either) but I was very impressed. I want to go back.
Bear Mountain (1665) near L.A., California
This is quite a large facility compared with most places I've skiied, but considered small by the "Real Skiers" in California.
Snow Trails (350) in Mansfield, Ohio
The trails are actually all beginner to light intermediate.
Holiday Valley (750) in New York
Good size and difficulty for me.
