Whats the best ski mountain in the east coast?

In no particular order, here are the places you should ski if you are back east.

Jay Peak

Stowe

Sugarbush / Mad River

Sugarloaf

Sunday River

Saddleback

Pico

I'm not so sure about park since I've been out west for two seasons now.

 
i never answerd woops

for parks it was

loon, okemo had a desent one, strattons was sick, i never made it to waterville but i heard good things about it
 
PARK -

Loon - huge park, really long run. Great jumps and rails.

Waterville - Smaller park, but there is a park only lift, there big jumps are perfection and they always have some sick shit setup (this year, a bomb jib) sweet staircase aswell

Big Boulder - Never been, heard they really stepped up as a park resort

Okemo - sucked this year, but great park prior years

Just Skiing -

Sugarloaf

Mad River Glen

Stowe

Killington
 
Killington is one of the biggest and one with a lot of fun and steep terrain, but the management hasn't been great. We'll see this season as they were bought, (and season pass prices went $$$$$$$$$$$$$, unfortunately.) Last season I had a pass and mostly skied there, next season I'll probably go there but also visit a ton of other places.
 
I'm a Sugarbush goer since the age of 3 so i will of course put that up there.

Jay Peak

Mad River Glen

Stowe

SugarLoaf

Killington
 


JAY.

Steepest terrain, most powder, most snow in general, most trees, they keep it 'ardcore. Jay is the closest thing to the West out East. It reminds me of Baker.

Best park -- Avila, St. Sauveur in Quebec. I don't go to the US for park so there's probably others.

Best party -- Tremblant. When the snow is good, Tremblant rocks. Their park is world-class too, but what really makes Tremblant shine is everything you do AFTER skiing.

 
Lets see...

you have...

sunday river

killington

mt. snow

Jay peak

okemo

Loon

waterville

All really good
 
Sugarloaf, tremblant, sunday river, jay peak, stowe.

sugarloaf is underrated for park. they just completely re-did it last year, and it's pretty sick, although shorter than the old one
 
killington??? that's overcrowded over priced garbage right there!!

park - Loon, WV, WA

mountainness - definitely jay above all others

there is a lot of nice skiing out here
 
im tired of all this jay love, ok the pow is really good but their park sucks and stowe is steeper and has almost as much snow

on a related note, killy is probably the most joeyed mountain in vt, you might as well go to mountain creek and other mountains have better parks so dont give me that
 
Stowe ... stowe is where i learned to love skiing

Sunday River... lots of terrain and if it isn't really cold, its usually a fun time

Jay Peak... also gives you a close to out west feeling... CLOSE... thats the key word

Wachusett was the best for me for access 45 mins from boston usually no traffic getting there and theres always fun to be had there with friends, the people are really chill there. you get the locals feeling at a commuter resort
 
loon killington has so many fuckign people it so annoying

PS: loon was rated best east coast park by snowboarding mag and no i do not snowboard someone told me about it.
 
I'm so happy that no one has said Stratton.

But for me, I'm gonna have to say Sugarbush or Mad River
 
First off, mountain creek is soooooooooo shitty compared to killington. Killy isn't bad if you go on a weekday and get cheap student seasons passes. Stratton is like 800x worse than killington. NO terrain, more (maybe?) expensive than killy, and more south than killy so there are more new yorkers. Stratton is my least favorite mountain on the east coast. Yep, the entire east coast.
 
yeah well ive been getting free seasons passes to killy since i was little because my mom works at mount snow and i still didnt go that much, and yeah stratton is worse but that doesnt make killington the best
 
JAY > everything else.

More snow. Better Glades. Sick out of bounds. Less Crowded. Cheaper. The Triple Major Pass is going to be sick next year (Jay/Mad River/Bolton). The only negative is the park kinda sucks, but park really isn't that good anywhere in Northern VT.
 
No. Killington never had good jumps. it has good rails but they never put them in. this past year there main park sucked. the only thing good about it was the flow but the biggest jump was 35 feet. if you wanted to hit a big jump it was 45-50 feet but you had to skip the whole park.
