Hi guys
I have Virgin airmiles which I can use on the above. Is there any good skiing not too far from there? I'm guessing Boston, any resorts recommended? I'm fairly inexperienced - beginner to intermediate I guess.
Any help much appreciated.
Boston or New York or even LA

I think Boston to Killington as one example is about 120 miles. East coast skiing in the US is OK but the best is out West. San Francisco would be a better option than LA IMO even though Big Bear has the best now in California at the moment flying into SF put you a couple of hours from the various Tahoe resorts, either LA or SF would do for Mammoth mountain. You could also consider flying into Denver, Colorado, or Salt Lake City. The East Coast resorts would be my last choice-how about Vancouver for Whistler?

I've skiied Killington and flew into Boston to do it. Its no Alpine village and you need a car (or hotel with bus) as the accommodation is strung out along the road.
Skiing is plentiful and varied - with some PROPER double black diamonds to test anyone as well as the huge, wide cruises that the US is famous for.
Weather in New England is the big problem - we had blazing sunshine, rain, fog and -20 temps at different times during our week
But thats New England in a nutshell for weather
Worth considering if you take into account the downsides as the skiing was great we felt
Just my two pence worth
