Is there a place in the USA that’s cheap to live and has good skiing
PM me suggestions.
There’s no need to ruin places by blowing them up.
But I’m just trying to figure out if it even exists anymore.
Example: Mt Bohemia. Ok, but the season is mid January to mid March. So that’s not really good.
15 years ago it was Salt Lake City. Work all summer. Or work in the evening, little cheap house with the mexican neighbors in a working class neighborhood, best snow on Earth.
What is that now. Is it gone?
Again, feel free to PM me instead of blowing it up on the internet. I understand.

Will always depend on expectations around work and quality of skiing. You can find some very small towns with small ski hills, but not much for employment and not much skiing. If the skiing is developed, it will have attracted a crowd already.
Also, what's cheap? $200k? Not too many places in the US you can do that still, regardless of skiing.
Also, how close to skiing do you want? 30 minutes? 1hr? 2hrs?

Define good skiing - lol
In Colorado, we specialize in the best low tide, wind blown skiing around.

I have spent my whole life skiing more or less every day. (Other than a couple years where I was surfing daily, and a winter where I was essentially homeless and living in company trucks while I was trucking).
I don’t consider a place as having skiing if it’s hours of driving to get there

Any major resort area is fucked.
If you’re comparing to Bohemia but a longer season I would guess local hills out west.
Shit hills in the west blow away the Midwest.
Drop Snow King into Wisconsin and people would shit bricks.
Casper WY has a ski area.
Pinedale used to have a ski area. Hope it’s still running.
Idaho seems like it got trashed by California.
Maybe be eastern WA or OR has something?
I’m feeling the vibe. As I slow down I think more about a chill town with mediocre terrain and minimal lines and crowds.. . .

Rural Montana.
Draw lines from Bullings to Bozeman and Missoula, then from Lost Trail to Whitefish. Those are all out....but venture north of i90 and you should be able to find stuff in the small towns.
But that creates a where will you work problem...
