Most Underrated Ski Towns

[Warp daddy]

Neither Scranton nor Wilkes-Barre feel anything like a "ski town" in the same way as Driggs (village) or Bozeman (university small city).

Montage feels more like where locals ski than Elk. Montage has a lot more summer activities for locals and summer tourists.

Right on target Marz,. I did my undergraduate studies in Wilkes-Barre and I can tell you it's always been a pretty gritty City and those of us that ventured out on skis went up to Da Pokes

A ski town is not something that Greek Peak has. No disrespect intended to Cortland or GP

GP isn't in Cortland, rather Virgil. I'll let the town logo speak for itself.View attachment 20280

I stand corrected but it doesn’t look like much of a town more like a sleepy hamlet. I don't see any restaurants or bars, (OK maybe one bar?) no lodging, no ski shop. Doesn't look like a ski town. No disrespect intended because I personally like these kinds of little places.

There are three prerequisites for a town, a post office, a bar and a church. If you can see a place to ski from there, then it’s a ski town.

We lack a post office.

What's the bar?

2 bars, one restaurant
Trax and the bobcat lounge. Pub grub and pizza at Trax. Full on dining at Carver's Steak House.

North Creek is a dang hamlet.
Johnsburg is the town Gore’s located in.
Virgil is a town.
