Reader Comments on Coming Home From My Western Ski Vacation from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Sat, 11 Oct 2008 09:07:57 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/blogs/skiblog/vacation Alpine Meadows and Kirkwood are two of the gems on Lake Tahoe! I'm a Vermonter, yet have been able to travel around and have enjoyed skiing at some really great places outside of New England. The biggest differences I've found between the West and NE is the amount of sun, otherwise, those folks in the West tend to be spoiled. Seems that many of the locals only ski the back bowls after they've been packed down by others, and stick to the groomed trails whenever the snow conditions aren't the greatest. Fine by me, left the back bowls almost empty every time I've been there, but the saying holds true, "If you ski NE, you can ski anywhere!" We New Englanders are a hardy bunch, capable of skiing the frozen crud and ice, etc., which tends to make us appreciate really nice conditions when we find them! Keep those tips up!
