Larry, 
   I spent the first 14 years of my skiing career on the east coast.
Unless you are dieing to ski on ice or you think you are very lucky my
advice is stay west. The conditions on the east coast are variable at
best. By west coast standards there are good conditions only once or
twice a year but east coaster will claim there are more.

   If you must go I recomend Stowe, Killington if you don't mind the
obnoxious people, and my favorite Mad River Glen. Mad River is a small
area and does not usaly have lines when other places do. The problem is
they don't make snow so you have to rely on mother nature. Mad River is
good for about two or three days and is real challanging. If you have
intermidate skiers with you send then to Sugar Bush North just up the
street. Stay at an inn called the Snugery it is real homey and when I
was there two years ago it was cheap.

If you make it to Stowe ski the front four and the glades. Don't miss a
run called Starr it tell the whole story about east coast skiing, cold,
icey, steep, and narrow.

Good luck,
Bob.
