Let's be honest, that isn't real skiing, is it even a mountain?

It's no Colorado, but it was always a fun Friday or Saturday trip when I was younger that was reasonably priced, a short drive, and got a ton of traffic when it was cold enough to go because it used to be pretty reasonably priced. I'm not Picabo Street, I don't need much more than a couple hills to be entertained.

If we're talking legit skiing, Snowhoe is probably closest to us (6 hr drive) and a two-day lift ticket alone for two adults plus two night's lodging is over $1000 (per their website for this weekend). That's not including food, gas, equipment, and spending money.

That's absolutely ridiculous.
