As the snow begins to fall more regularly thoughts around here turn more towards skiing. And since Ohio isn't a tremendously mountainous place, to really get a good fix you have to go to a ski resort. But what one? There are tons of things to consider least of which is what type of skier or snowboarder the resort caters to. That's why I really like skisnowboard.com's Resort Guides. Take for example their Whistler-Blackcomb listing. It lists all sorts of things about the resort as well as separate pages for how the mountain is laid out (with trail suggestions matched to abilities), how hospitable snowboarding is at the mountain and other activities at the mountain. The only thing they don't do well is trail maps (which are often very small and for the most part worthless). You are better off accessing the trail map from the resort's website and using the mountain layout guide from this site.
