Has anyone gone snowboarding in the north carolina area ? Im from the west coast and have not been on the east coast yet since I moved here. I want to go a few times this year but I do not want to go to any shitty ass mountians. So If anyone has some advice please share.

Locations, Maps, How to Find, Directions for the Ski Resorts of North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, West Virginia and Maryland (http://www.skisoutheast.com/resort_locations.htm#Cloudmont)

Im thinking these 3 places:

North Carolina Ski Resorts, Ski Resorts in North Carolina, Skiing in North Carolina (http://www.appskimtn.com/)

Wintergreen Resort - Virginia's Premier Blue Ridge Mountain Vacation Getaway (http://www.wintergreenresort.com/)

Wisp Resort-Maryland's own 4-season ski and golf destination (http://www.wispresort.com/)

Please tell me what you think.

I've been to Wisp many times. It's only like 40 minutes from Morgantown, but if you're going up that way, make the extra 45 minutes to an hour trip and go to 7 springs up in PA. It's much better.

Mountain Creek FTL, but Triple Play is damn cheap.

I will check out the website and see about prices.

Im going to be going with my wife. We want to do a two day trip in jan and a few more in feb~mar. She has never been before so I wanted to find a few first timmers or people new to snowboarding to keep her company while she learns for the first part of the day.

If anyone else wants to come along we could do a zilvia thing and get a little group going, the more the merrier. If anyone wants to come along lets try to set up a trip. If enough people are interested lets see about starting or adding to the thread.
