THere is a common misconception that Western Moutains (ski areas) have more vertical. I often tell folks (from the east and west) that there are many moutains in the east which have similiar Vertical (and more) then alot of western moutains. Most folks don't believe me. Of course thier are such places like Blackcomb (which are in a class by themselves).

On most mountains I ride out west - I only ride the top half... The lower mountains are sketchy and crowded...
Verticle doesnt really mean a lot to me because of that...
Big Sky says they have the most vert in the US... But you can't even ski the whole vert without taking a lift...

Same for Blackcomb. The bottom3rd of that MT is Almost always slushed out due to it's low base elevation. I've skied that MT prolly 50-60 days and i've never skied the bottom 3rd -- just took the Gody back down. I'm usually too pooped to deal with that crap at the end of the day.

My home hill:

1,200 feet
Bristol Mountain - Canandaigua, New York

Here's a good one:
516 feet
Mt. LaCrosse - LaCrosse, Wisconsin

Is 516 feet really a mountain? I have about that much vertical on my driveway!

Yeah, right. I just copy and pasted it in.....Blue Knob is about 20 min. south of Altoona in Claysburg.

Just check out Sly Fox Brewery. Man, never heard a thing bout it. Belgian and German style. Could it be better!!!?? We'll see how stuck on Grape St. my girl and her friends (nudge, nudge..wink, wink....say na mo) are.

Watch out for them Belgian dubbles and tripples! :skierscared:
