i live in a place where there are 3 ski slopes close by and a total of about 30 runs, unless you dont divide one big hill that rides the same into 3 runs then we have about 15, well anyhow is there anyplace nearby that is pretty good, most likely a weekend trip to a place, and no more than 100 can be spent on lift tickets. well im open to all suggestions, dont really want to go to mad river mountain and have already been to peak and peak, well please help me find some place.

What about Seven Springs in PA? It's not huge, but might be a nice change.

I'm not great with my western NY geography, maybe Holiday Valley?

seven springs sounds like a pretty good idea i have family that lives near there i think. holiday valley is also pretty high on my list.

o and just out of curiosity how are gore and hunter mountains? im thinking about going on a trip to one of them next year and would like opinons if anyone has them.

If you are going out to Gore, I suggest making the extra steps to get to Whiteface. Most vertical in the east (over 3K) and some nice terrain. Can be a bit cold and icy (hence Iceface), but probably worth while.

I've done Hunter (or Huntah to New Yorkah's) and it's got a lot of fun terrain. Not nearly as big as WF, but still fun. I would avoid it like the plague on weekends since all the NYC crowds make their way there.

If I was given the choice, I would take Gore / Whiteface over Huntah.
