Best Local Snowboarding Spots

I just started snowboarding last year.

Can you recommend some snowboarding spots that are driving distance from NYC?

I prefer mountains that are not TOO crowded.

I go to Mountain Creek, it is pretty much the closest around. Small, but good, especially if you are a beginner...

I have gone there too. It's owned by the same people who own Whistler.

Camelback gets my vote, too. I live on Long Island and think it's close enough for a day trip.

Theres hunter mountain...but you can also go to the poconos, but that would be good for a weekend or even a drive though..I drive to the poconos alot and i've even done it in one hour and a half...most of the time about 2 hrs.
