When not skiing, take a walk to the North Creek village. This place has a rich history as a ski and snowboarding town, an abundance of eateries, and lively nightlife.

Catamount, Massachusetts

Mad River Mountain, Ohio

Ohio may not be the largest state in the US, but this deficiency in size is truly compensated in pride.
