5 Snowboarding Destinations

Filed in archive Winter Adventures on March 5, 2008

Don't let the unseasonably warm weather fool you, it's still winter and that means its not to late for snowboarding. Luckily for you, the editors of Future Snowboarding magazine have compiled a list of slopes located within an hour of the airport. They call the article, "Storm Chasers: From Plane to Powder in Under an Hour". Nice.

Here are a few highlights:

-Burlington International Airport, Vt., from which the magazine says you can be on the lift in 30 minutes at Bolton Valley. Sugarbush, Stowe and Smugglers Notch are within an hour's drive of the airport.

-Reno-Tahoe International Airport, Nev., from which the magazine says you can be on the lift in 30 minutes at Mount Rose. Northstar, Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows are within an hour's drive of the airport.

-Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Wash., from which the magazine says you can be on the lift at the Summit At Snoqualmie, Alpental, in 55 minutes. Stevens Pass and Crystal Mountain are within 55 minutes of the airport.
