No he's not, the east might not be as good as some places out west, but there is still some awesome stuff to ski out here... -K to you sure... To the OP, it depends where you live from a logistics POV, but I'd recommend Stowe, Sugarbush, Cannon, Jay Peak, Wildcat, and Sugarbush... Some sleeper places include Burke, Smugglers Notch, and Saddleback.
