Open ski areas that are on the same latitude or longitude as your home

NELSAP

Without giving your actual address, what open ski areas are located on the same latitude or longitude as your home. Any portion of the ski area property would count.

For me, I discovered Pat's Peak is on the same exact latitude. Magic is close but no cigar. West Mountain is also very close on longitude but not on the line.

Yeah, this is a fair point. The Northeast as a whole runs from 39 degrees in Cape May, NJ to 45 degrees (and higher in Maine's northern tier. Wide range if just considering degrees.

Anyway - Bousquet is closest for me, a couple hundredths of a degree away.

Pine Ridge Barre is the closest of any ski area, past or present, to my latitude.

Edit: Didn't think about going west! Pomerelle is closest AFAIK; haven't gotten bored enough to check the midwest yet.

Well this was a fun way to kill time

1 lost
1 never was

Easiest way is to just display the grid on google earth

Latitude: Going with exact same minutes, east I have lost Snow Bowl NJ.

West I got nothing except right smack dab through Ottumwa, IA home of beloved Radar O'Reilly.

misses Shawnee PA & Camelback PA by 2 mins

Longitude: Going with exact same minutes, north I have the never was Neversink Resort aka Blue Hill near the hamlet of Willowemoc, NY which we discussed here in 2017. I miss Mt. Tremblant et al by a couple minutes.

Going south, no ski resorts BUT the exact longitude of my house hits the South Pole straight on, bullseye! That's incredible.

Latitude, I'm a dead match for Elk Mountain, PA. Degrees, minutes and seconds!

Crazy....mine gets me to the North Pole... B) What a coincidence

Closest latitude is Crested Butte, CO (vertical 3,055', 121 trails)
Closest longitude is Batawa, ON (vertical 570' - although I found numerous alternate estimates, seven trails)

Longitude, Just a bit west of the Green Mountain biggies but an exact match for Dutch Hill.

I must travel north to Saint Sauveur for a direct hit.

No direct longitudinal hits. Eldora is the closest.

That was fun. Thanks Jeremy

Yawgoo Valley and Powder Ridge. I'm clearly in the snow belt!

Only a 27 hour drive for ya. I think you meant Eldora is the closest in latitude? I'll stop by on 9/1 ;) Man, I mention Eldora once and now every one is

For latitude, I'm very close to Quarry Road, BMOM, & Smugglers Notch.

For longitude, I'm not really in line with any ski area.

For some additional fun, check out www.confluence.org - intersections of each 1 degree lat/lon points.

I could drive thru one today.
I don't think I realized I was skiing on the 45th parallel when I was at Brundage Mountain until I went out to McCall again that same summer.

Brundage and McCall are an incredibly underrated mountains and towns. Some parts of Hidden Valley as well as Dobber's Dream were probably my favorite bits of terrain from my Idaho trip this winter. Forester's in McCall was also a great little place with real solid pizza and a large variety of beers.

Yes. Coffee must not have kicked in.

Latitude, I align with The Canyons section of Park City.
Longitude, I align with the North Creek slopes at Gore
I'm less than a minute from Victor Constant
I'm a touch more than a minute from the Ski Jumping Towers at Lake Placid
I suspect that I am less than a minute from the defunct Bear Mountain Ski Jump, but I don't have an exact location.
