Grew up skiing a lot of the ski resorts in the east, Ontario skiing is pretty much a joke, stand in line for a 30 sec run. Going into Quebec, Hated Tremblant, always to cold and icy, heading into Quebec City to ski Mont St Anne and Stoneham was always a better choice, the increased savings on pretty much everything made it worthwhile.
Vermont, not really impressed with Killington but Jay Peak was favorite.
But, sorry nothing beats the west.
