Hey everyone....I'm new to this forum and was curious about any ideas/suggestions for good skiiing on the east coast. I live in North Georgia (just north of Atlanta) and am wondering what's around within a day's drive.

Thanks!

Well, poke around here a bit and you'll find a ton already on point, but there are some subjective criteria in answering your request. What's "good skiing" for you? What do you look for? How far is a "day's drive" for you?

Skiing in your neighborhood is pretty unlikely. Probably a little more than a day's drive from you is Snowshoe WVa, which has about 600? vertical for beginner/intermediates and 1500? vertical for aggressive intermediates and advanced skiers. Some years it has a fairly long season from mid-November to mid-April. But like most MASH areas, the quality can vary considerably with the temperature cycles.

A good resource for MASH skiing is http://www.dcski.com

Good luck!

For the uninitiated, MASH="Mid-Atlantic Ski Hell".
 
" within a days drive ".... if a day = 24 hours- then pack up the bus and go north to STOWE bro....where old man johannes von trapp will be singing... " the hills are alive with the best most consistent lift accessed turns in the east "... but bring your visa card for sure :roll: ... no bargains at stowe
 
About 2-3 hours north is Cataloochee and Wolf Laurel, Small < 700 vertical skiing. Limited terrain. But great for day trips. Another hour and half north is Sugar and Beech mountain 1000+ vertical with more challenging terrain and longer seasons. But the weekends can be impossibly crowded. Also being a New England skier most of my life southern skiing is something to see to be believed. Many on the beginner slopes have never seen snow let alone know anything about the skier responsiblity code. But it's skiing!
 
Yeah, I did a little research online and ran across all those NC locations. Definately worth a day trip to check them out. Thanks for the advice though....I'll try to avoid a trip up on the weekends. :lol:
