Where do you currently live and approximately where would you like
to live? East or West?

Good thing I quit eating them. We dumped too much mercury in the ocean

I thought it was the Japanese who were way ahead in the "dump mercury in
the ocean" sweepstakes?

Not sure, but I bet they are way ahead in the 'eat mercury from the ocean'
category!

Clip coupons?

Anyway, no one said anything about earning your keep, just living cheap.

In the contiguious states I'd suggest Elko, adjacent to the Ruby
Mountains; plenty of abandoned structures you could just move into free
- at least until the owner of the land discovered you in which case
you'd have to move into the neighboring structure 3 miles down the track.

Of course the Rubys are not lift served - perhaps that is why they offer
great skiing?

As noted elsethread you don't specify earning a living - if that's not a
requirement, see elsethread. If earning a living is required, then Salt
Lake City or Reno are the answer.

Which is the anti-answer, BTW. Japan is not the cheapest place to live
within a hour drive to great skiing.

I would like to live in the west, but not California or Salt Lake city.
I want to buy housing for no more than $50 square foot. Also be
within one hour drive to a descent ski area and 2.5 hours to a GREAT
ski area. Make sense?

Sorry I wasn't more specific earlier, but I had to think about it a
little harder.

I live east; I teach at an eastern area; I've skied almost every open and
closed areas in New England for 30 years. You'll notice my list didn't
include any thing in the east although I said I had considered everything
from Ste. Anne to Ski Apache and Whistler to Snowshoe.

If Canada is an option, central BC is probably the sleeper in the best bet

Poor access, no cultural ops and no coffee shops might be draw backs.

Just to add a small correction: IMO, coffee culture has thoroughly
arrived throughout BC. :-)

That would be Detroit. Fourteen ski areas within an hours drive, and
a low cost of living.
