Locally, I'm partial to Song Mountain. Not a huge place, but decent and uncrowded. And they offer occasional $7 lift tickets on Friday nights (next one is on the 27th, I think). Labrador is also quite popular.

For a longer trip, Windham (and Hunter and the other Catskill resorts) is only 3.5 hours away. Nice skiing down there (for those who don't turn up their noses at icier East Coast skiing).

I like Song and Labrador equally well, though Lab has a better terrain park if that's your thing. Both are fairly reasonable cost-wise. On weeknights, the school ski clubs will sometimes make the lift lines fairly long from 5-8 pm (roughly). We frequently show up around 7 pm, hang out for a bit while the lines die down, then ski until closing time. The slopes are practically empty during the later hours.

Greek Peak is about double the size of Song & Lab, but is also a bit more expensive. They also have some more challenging slopes in my opinion. I like going there once or twice per season just to mix things up.
