    Making list of ski areas not in ski town or near major metro

    List of resorts that aren't in/near ski towns or near MAJOR metro areas (SLC/Reno/Denver/LA/Seattle).

    No order from me, just trying to get a list of places.

    1. Powderhorn, CO
    2. Schweitzer Mtn, ID
    3. Terry Peak, SD

    Trying to think of places that are not in a major city, near decent skiing and where it's a semi-normal life for most people (meaning not a ski town / tourist area).

    I'm sure this is most of the NE ski resorts, but not sure.

    EDIT:

      Schweitzer/Sandpoint is rapidly trending towards tourist destination.

          Most all of the Montana areas would qualify - same for Idaho ski area north of Boise

          Depending on if you disqualify ski towns for Whitefish and Bozeman (high cost of living)

                          Durango is absolutely not a ski town.

                              There are a few relatively small resorts in BC and they are all good.
                              Silverstar, Whitewater, and Apex to name a few.
