Assuming "mountains" means something like the "rockies" I'm a Colorado skier checking in. Learned to ski when I was a kid in Maine tho, primarily at Black Mountain back before they had a chairlift with some trips to Sunday River and Sugarloaf. Before I became a father and primary caregiver for the kiddo I would do more Destination Skiing but I pretty much stay in-state these days and avoid the Big Corporate Ski Resorts. Arapahoe Basin the home area.
