I love Saddleback! My daughter is going to college in Maine starting in the Fall, and she already has a good friend from Rangeley, so I will definitely ski there again!

Sadly, none.
Next winter I hope to make it to Lake Tahoe to ski the Epic Pass areas. These would not be new but would undoubtedly be so changed since we skied them (more than 10 years ago!) that they would almost count as new.
Let's order up a really snowy winter in 2012/13.

I feel like such an underacheiver. No new areas, only the same areas I always go to.

Three-Bretton Woods, Cannon, Deer Valley. Would have loved to try PCMR, but the area was in a terrible snow drought--Uh, until we left and they got 3 feet of snow in one night! Typical! I am beginning to take this personally. LOL

Within the confines of the short season last year, I managed to make it out to a few new mountains, all of which were awesome: Gunstock, Loon and Sugarloaf!
We hit gunstock on a Thursday afternoon when the power went out at work, had the mountain to ourselves. Loon we'd committed to on a great one day groupon deal in january when it said it was going to be in the high 50s - but when we got there, it clouded up, the temps dropped and we had no crowds to compete with! Sugarloaf was another great groupon deal that I somehow survived given that I got there after spending 36 hours awake traveling back from India. It was pretty much the last weekend before most of new England melted, and was mid 60s with everyone skiing without jackets by the end of the day.
It was a bummer that I didn't get to check out the other awesome places I'd wanted to try like Burke, Cannon, Wildcat etc. we ended up going to KMart 3 times (and actually got some dumps beforehand, glad I bought snow tires!) because my family from north Jersey can reach southern VT much more easily. But I feel like I earned some serious skier cred - no matter the conditions, I always found a way to appreciate the many days I spent out this season!

No new mountains last season though I did revisit Mammoth which I haven't skied in about 4 years. I forgot how much I enjoyed it! On the bright side ... with a 12% paycut looming this year at least I remember how much I enjoy Mammoth (close enough to keep costs do-able!) Also with Eagle Point, Utah offering free skiing to Californians I may yet ski a new mountain this season.

The new ski places for me were: Snowshoe WV, Blue Mountain ON, Mount St. Louis ON. All three place had really nice skiing. Would love to go somewhere west, either this year or next.
