BillSki's 2005-2010 Northeastern United States Alpine Ski Area Data An Informal Survey |
This list compares a select group of (54) northeastern United States alpine ski areas, based on a loose criteria of: a) areas nationwide over 1,000 vertical feet, b) most areas in VT, NH, ME and MA, since the object of my interest is comparing northern New England ski areas. My original intent was to to compare lift ticket prices. The work has transcended that original goal and and is now cutting the data several ways, to see where the resorts stack up numerically.
This list is not intended to determine the "best" areas. Beauty of course, is in the eye of the beholder. I am only ranking resorts numerically. In many cases, significant ticket price reductions can be had by shopping around, going on special days, bulk and group ticket sales, promotions, early, late season, etc. Shop around.
Here are the data I chose to accumulate:
