Northeastern Skiing

hey, ski season is right around the way. After heading out to Colorado this spring, i think ive spoiled the way i look at northeastern skiing. As an advanced/expert skier i am looking for the northeastern ski resorts that provide the best "off-piste" or glade runs.

also, in the past my ski experiences have been "up at dawn for first tracks, asleep by 7pm" so i ask: What are the resorts in the NE that have the best night life?

this is my first post, so thanks for any input

I have had a season pass to Mad River Glen in Waitsfield, VT for about 10 years, and I have to say that after skiing there, nothing else in the northeast even compares. It's an incredibly rustic mountain (the main lift is a diesel powered single chair), but the terrain is second to none. There is almost no grooming, and the trails are naturally narrow with moguls. I would recommend talking to a local, because most of the best skiing isn't on a trail map. As far as nightlife goes, there is some but not a huge amount...but the tradeoff is worth it for the terrain.

Just give up on EIS (Eastern Ice Skiing), and go out to Colorado. Although I do second the mad river glen, great terrarian and you skip the Frankie and Johnnie in the Giants Starter jackets.
