If you’re even remotely thinking of skiing this winter, you’ve got to check out this map of 68 ski resorts in the Northeast United States and Quebec<\/a>. Coming from Colorado, I kind of forget just how many good ski spots there are in the East. Given that most are a day’s drive away for those in the region, you can also count on saving at least a few hundred dollars in plane fares alone (and save another 50% off lift tickets from Liftopia as we mentioned here in September<\/a>).<\/p>\n Taking a gander at the map, going by trails alone, Vermont’s Killington with over 141 is the largest of the region and, surprisingly enough, Maine is home to 2 of the top 5 (Sugarloaf, Sunday River). Quebec’s Bromont and Vermont’s Okemo round out the top 5.<\/p>\n And since we’re on the subject, you may be saying, “Matt, you New York-centric\/Northeast United States snob, what about where I live?”<\/p>\n Well, this is the time of year when every newspaper north of the equator tends to spit out their own guides, so here’s a few from around the world.<\/p>\n The Washington Post is highlighting slopes in the mid-Atlantic<\/a>, the Telegraph has the skinny on where to ski in Italy this winter<\/a>, and Cond\u00e9 Naste (in quite a departure from the norm) is listing the top 6 budget ski destinations in Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n And with that we wrap up part two of “Ski Week” here at TheExpeditioner.com. Not exactly by choice or detailed planning, but by sheer coincidence. Kind of like that ill-fated “Turkmenistan Week” we had a few months ago. I’m still receiving e-mails about that one. Never again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you’re even remotely thinking of skiing this winter, you’ve got to check out this map of 68 ski resorts in the Northeast United States and Quebec.
