Favorite East Coast Mountain?

That is an impossible question. I love so many for so many reasons.

I love Magic for all-day untracked tree skiing and cliff hucking my face off.

I love Jay for consistently delivering the goods, the occasional multi-foot day and having steep trees and open faces.

I love MRG for being steep, sexy and on App gap and therefore almost faster to skin laps on a pow day when the line is long.

I love The Midd Snow Bowl for having fast lifts, cheap tickets, 99% racers and great snow and tree skiing that very few are interested in.

I love Smuggs for being so goddam perfect- great slackcountry, awesome trails, great snow and laid back attitude.

I love Mt. Snow for... Wait a second I fucking hate Mt. Snow hahaha

So yeah. I just love so many places up here and there's even more I haven't tried. To pick ONE favorite is impossible for me, because it depends on what I'm doing, what the conditions are and what kind of crew I have with me which one is perfect for that day.
 
Tremblant can be pretty awesome if you get good conditions and avoid weekends and holidays. Loon is amazing for park.

Smugglers notch and Jay Peak are pretty cool.

 
Loon- learned to ski there and grew up skiing every weekend there- I know the mountain inside out and all the places to get good tree skiing - black mountain never gets old - I will always name loon as my favorite mountain regardless of where I ski
 
There are so many hidden gems on the east coast. we may not have massive mountains, but we definitely have some awesome skiing.

Magic, Jay, Massif du Sud and Tremblant all top my list
 
loon. sick park. i know all the hidden tree pow spots. the vibe in the spring is unmatched for me. and it has the bunyan room. cant get any better
 
Camden Snow Bowl because it's my hill. It has fucking sentimental value.

Sunday's sick for park, Saddleback's sick for off piste/tree skiing
 
I love Mt Snow. Ill Parks and if you're not down with park... North Face is where it's at with steeps, glades, bumps.

Why do you hate it?
 
Saddleback for sure, the locals are great, theres virtually no lift lines, fantastic park and tree skiing, and overall great skiing.
 
I'll be the first to say it North Face is one of the most overates parts of a mountains in the NE, tracked out constantly, will be bumped up and scrapped of shw by 11 oclock, small, crowded...
 
go to sugarloaf in late spring. ive never been to loon but there is a reason why the loaf is king of spring.

my top three are easily

Sugarloaf

Saddleback

Burke

all three have awesome trees, great parks and burke and saddleback usually have no lift lines whatsoever
 
Mont Sainte-Anne, the park is so fun, there's no jumps but the flow is just so good. Other than that itS really sick too for skiing outside the park
 
Honestly...Wherever my friends are. I would have more fun at a tiny mountain with a great crew, than by myself at the best mountain with the best conditions. I work at Jay Peak and skied here a lot by myself last year and eventually came to that realization. The people make the place.
 
Mostly because it's fiilled to the brim with douchebags and my love affair with the North Face lasts approximately 30 seconds, which is almost enough to get me to the bottom.

I mean, if you don't ski park Mt. Snow is a waste of a hundred bucks. SO MANY better options for people who aren't looking to lap the park, y'know? Not hating... Well, yes I am, that place blows. Sorry if you like it, I don't mean it as a reflection of you, it's just about as far from my cup of tea as you can get.

 
I feel ya. North face IS short, and certainly not worth a lift ticket to stay on that side all day. Was just curious why u hate it.

I guess the reason why it's ideal for me is i lap park 85% of the time and the rest of the time, north face is a good change of pace... especially when it dumps.
 
Mount Snow for park and it's only 45 minutes from me, but Stowe and Jay have that East coast rugged back country which I love
 
Mad River Glen will always be one of my favorites. So many good memories from there. ^^^^^That Pic of Loaf was looking sick! Hopefully I'll be able to hit up that cliff sometime.
 
i got to sugarloaf 4 or 5 times a year. and they're is no way sugarloaf matches loon in the spring. plus. the parks deteriorate there really quickly in the spring. i dont like how they upkeep them there. seems like they just take out features instead of actually dig stuff back in or reshape jumps and landings. ive been in april and the park is either gone or only has a few things left.
 
Loon's spring park is better than Sugarloaf's but for everything else spring-related the Loaf is better.
 
Definitely Jay and Stowe for powder.

Mt. Snow for park features.

From what I've seen though Bush has a sick vibe, I definitely want to get up there, because while it doesnt look like the biggest park, it looks so god damn fun.
 
MT. Snow for sure, had some great thanksgiving trips there back in High school. Haven't been in three years though...
