FWIW, I have two coworkers who are avid skiers. One grew up in British Columbia near Vancouver and the other in Utah. They both primarily go to Vermont as they claim it’s the best skiing in the East. Jay Peak, Mad River and Stowe are their top picks. I know because they love to talk about skiing and have gone up a few times with them.

For New England, Vermont is the best state to ski, followed by Maine and then New Hampshire.
