Lutsen, MN has awesome terrain. The UP (Upper Peninsula) area of Michigan (and nearby WI) get awesome lake-effect dry powder dumps. Crowds tend to be minimal here!

Just southeast of St Paul, MN is my home hill, Welch Village. Let me know if you're ever passing through, and I'll see if I can find you a comp ticket!
That’s awesome, I didn’t even realize there were good mountains in those states! I have yet to visit, and always wanted to see both. Thank you so much, that would be awesome and I’ll definitely let you know!

"Mountains" might be a stretch! We suffer from a lack of vertical, but better skiing & terrain than you'd expect :smile:

Thanks for the great suggestions! We pass through both Indiana and West Virginia on our drive so that is perfect, could definitely take a day to ski next time we are making that drive!
Ah, then suggest you read up about Timberline in Davis, WV. We'll worth a bit of a detour for a night. Great fun for all ability levels. The long green from the top is a favorite of kids learning to skis, as well as cautious intermediates who learned as adults. I've taken friends there who are intermediates and they had a great time. Bonus is that it's easy for a better skier to take a different route and then meet up at the base for another ride up together on the high-speed 6-pack to the top.

The same could be said about the mountains in the southeast. Few people who don't know the area realize that Beech Mountain and Sugar Mountain near Boone, NC are over 4000 ft. I went to my first demo day at Sugar at the annual SugarFest in mid-December. The northern midwest gets a lot more cold days good for snowmaking than NC or VA.

Since this thread is about Moment skis . . . I demo'd the Moment Sierra at the Alta Demo Day in 2011 and 2012. At the time, what I was looking for were wider skis for trips out west since my all-mountain skis as an adventurous intermediate were 75 underfoot and I was starting to ski a run or two per day off the groomers. In the end I bought the original Black Pearl, 88 underfoot, used from a Diva. I had rented the "purple bull" Black Pearls as demo skis and knew that I liked them.

I have been having so much fun on them with all the recent snow. They did great in about 8 inches of fresh snow. I finally got my bella tour mounted and taking them in the backcountry tomorrow. Wish me luck.
