There's plenty of snow for skiing in the Midwest. There just aren't any mountains. In Michigan the 'big' places have 500 or 600 feet of vertical, with the modest outlier literally in the middle of Lake Superior, so it takes forever to get there (http://www.mtbohemia.com/ ).

Yes, I was referring to Northeast about the snow, that have somewhat ski-able "mountains". In general, the quality of outdoor activities is so much greater on the west coast that my friends and I would just fly from NYC for trips than go out locally. Plus you avoid ticks and lyme disease.
