From the West Coast? Vermont has the best East coast skiing. I’d put it in the bottom quartile of West coast skiing.

It isn’t bad at all, but it will never compete with the Rockies.

Yep. I learned to snowboard on the east coast and when I came out west, I was amazed at how much "better" I was overnight. I really am better now, but it doesn't hurt to have good snow.

From the French Alps. But it's really a climate issue, the nights are just too cold, everything freezes.

I think you mean the days are too hot. :)

All of the good skiing in the rockies is in areas where it can easily go weeks without it getting above freezing.

Vermont and New Hampshire are great to ski in.

Joke always was if you can ski on the east coast, you can ski anywhere.
