Best skiing in the East. Maybe 40th best in America, but it's a four hour drive from Boston, maybe eight from New Yawk. Huge tourist industry, they don't feel the need to subsidize the rest of Ben & Jerry Land.
Used to get to Killington in 5 1/2 hours from Long Island. Haven't gone back to Vermont since Jim Jefford's sold his soul. I would immediately visit Killington again if it was actually part of New Hampshire. (Won't happen, but fun to watch.)
