Snowshoe, an upside-down mountain in the Monongahela National Forest, averages more snow than most mountains in New Hampshire.

It’s like Europe, but you can drive there from East Coast cities.

You’ll need days to explore it, even without making time for Pico.

The village at the base of Tremblant (an Intrawest-owned resort) could be Whistler.

The steeps of Kachina Peak should be on the résumé of any skier who’s got the chiles for it.

Baker is a mountain for those who don’t give a $#!+ about anything other than copious amounts of snow.

At this enormous mountain, huge investments in snowmaking (including more than $1 million just this season) and impeccable grooming pay off.
