It was not my idea.  But I liked it.

And so, I embarked on a quest to try every ski area in New Hampshire and Vermont.

As I started, a couple key questions came up:

1. How do you keep track? A spreadsheet of course.
2. What is on the spreadsheet – every resort that was ever open, or just ones that are open now? There are hundreds of closed ski hills in New England.     For sake of simplicity, I decided to include ones that are open, or were just recently closed.
3. What constitutes “skiing a mountain”? Do you have to ride every lift, including magic carpets and rope tows?  Or ski every run?  I decided on a definition of two hours on the mountain, or skiing every run, whichever comes first.
4. How tall does a ski area have to be to count? After spending all day driving and “conquering” a 150-foot-tall monster, I decided that there might be a lower bound for some.   But that folks should be able to choose their limits.
5. Do I have to ski them all in one season?   Or could I spread it out over time.   I leave this one to you.   I’m shooting for “lifetime” first, and then might get aggressive and go for “one season”.

And as I skied away, and told people about my quest, they all asked another question:  “Is there a website?”
