NORTHEAST
High in the Appalachian Highlands, time gives way to clean snow, and days weave between glades of striped maples on the slopes of Camelback and Sugarloaf. There is a reason there have been not one, but two Winter Olympics held in the Northeast (looking at you Lake Placid). The winters here are challenging, but inviting, bracing and beautiful.

The Northeast has a lot to be proud of as it tests your grit in a different way with stinging winds and steep icy runs. All this breaks way to stunning views, bluebird skies and a new sense of awe. While the Rockies may loom larger, the peaks of the Northeast provide a distinct skiing experience and seemingly endless opportunities to discover fresh powder all within a few hours of major US cities. When the skis come off, New England charm beckons from around every corner.
