Top Ski Destinations on the East Coast
Who else loves the adrenaline that comes with snow sports? We love the rush and excitement of flying down the slopes so we’re sharing some of the best destinations to shred on the east coast. Whether you’re a beginner or expert, here are our ratings for the top 5 ski cities to travel to this year!
1. Sugarloaf Mountain in Carrabassett Valley, Maine
Even though Sugarloaf Mountain is the third highest mountain peak in Maine, it is still a great slope for all levels of snow sport lovers. What’s great about Sugarloaf is the resort full of activities centers with seasonal sports so you can visit all year round. Whether you’re snow biking or mountain biking, golfing or skiing, Sugarloaf mountain will show you a cool time(get it? cool….) Okay, moving on, then.

2. Killington Mountain Resort in Killington, Vermont
Contrary to the name of this city and the fact that it contains the largest vertical drop in the East Coast, it has in fact, not killed anyone. Killington is however, known as the “beast of the east” and though kids activities are offered, it is more recommended for experienced snow sport lovers. If you’re looking for a perfect mix of adrenaline and chill(oh snap, we did it again), this destination is perfect for your next vacation.

3. Gore Mountain in Warren County, New York
Okay, we know what you’re thinking. Killington Mountain…now GORE?! Hey, we didn’t pick these names! These ski destination are far from what they sound like. Gore Mountain is actually a great resort for beginners and kids! They even have a snow sports school for snowboarders and skiers of all skill levels! Check it out here.

4. Wild Cat Mountain in Coos County, New Hampshire
Great for all skill levels and highly appreciated for its beautiful scenery, this ski resort destination has something to do for everyone-even if you never step foot(or boot?) on the slopes. Though known for being the longest open season in New Hampshire, Wildcat is still only opened from early November to early May so there are always great ticket deal going on!

5. Butternut Basin in Great Barrington, Massachusetts
A more welcoming name than some above slopes, Butternut Basin got its name because of the plentiful rows of butternut trees in the mountain range. Another great family vacation destination, Ski Butternut offers lessons, multiple slope options, tubing rentals for adults and kids and of course, beautiful terrains and park trails to explore.
