I know we have the review system and I've been to a couple up here, but one quick question, which order should I go in?

I'll be traveling from Chicago, so I think one in the south, move up for 2 days in the far North. I've been to Swiss Valley so any place other than that. I added a map to help plan the trip.

Gotta get as many days in before Colorado, so any recommendations are definitely appreciated!

Thanks!

    This Winter is my first Winter back in the sport in the last 6 years! And now I live in the DC area so I've been trying a few of the Mid-Atlantic region resorts within a one-day's trip from DC. Generally the terrain/conditions remind me of Michigan, but they do receive less frequent snow (no lake effect). But the vertical is also twice as high. 1000' is nice to be able to ski down. But I'm finding that most of this area will get boring probably by the end of next Winter.

    This year I've already taken a one week trip to CO, skiing and snowshoeing, and I'm going back this weekend for a long weekend at Breckenridge. And I'm contemplating a third trip possibly to Steamboat in March. So I think every Winter I'll be taking at least two big trips out West or up North. And the weekends in between those trips I'll probably continue to sample this area (haven't tried WV yet, their motto is "Wild Wonderful"). I've been very lucky to have friends and family who live all over the country now, too. So I'm able to travel cheap.

    Hah, Trip Advisor would be a great job!. Just get paid to go skiing everywhere and share advice. It's on my list. I'm jealous of that trip in N. Michigan. They've been blessed by the snow gods this Winter. Those three places were my favorites when I lived in Michigan. Especially Nub's, I think their glades are really nice, something you don't see a lot of in MI.
