Yeah, A-Basin, Breck, Keystone, Copper, etc are all like 1 hour from Denver. I stay at my sisters house in town sometimes and drive up every day for a week.

2. Most "ski weekends" aren't really about skiing. Go to Killington on a typical weekend and most people are trying to get laid. Weekdays are more family time. Whether or not Mt. Snow has equivalent skiing as Whistler is as relevant as whether or not Long Island beaches are equivalent to the Seychelles (which is to say, almost completely irrelevant). It's more for networking, partying, family time, etc.
Anecdotal, but last "ski weekend" around half the people in our group never put on skis or snowboards.

Lol, what are you talking about, sex, booze, weed, and general tomfoolery are the essence of skiing, unless you are a gaper or douhenozzle like Rudy. Proper skiing:

How about this? If you can't bomb every single line on your local hill without stopping, then you don't get to talk smack about skiing. The rule in my family is you don't get to go to Colorado until you can easily handle any run in the State.
So I've got an idea, let's do an SSP ski trip starting in Milwaukee where we will engage in general debauchery and then take three day trips to surrounding mountains. Any forumers who can't either get laid and/or rip the shit out of every line on each of the hills are eliminated.
Then whoever is not eliminated will all go to Denver and have the first Annual SSP Open Ski Championships.
