US states that have ski areas

I will comment on the sheer number of ski areas in the midwest. Given the relatively flat terrain, that the region could support so many is suprising, particularly given how states in that region support more individual ski areas than states far more well known for their skiing.

I will also note that Texas's one "ski area", Aggie Hill, uses artificial/plastic snow. I included it in the list, but I could definitely see people thinking that it this particular ski area would not count.

One more thing to note. What is counted as a ski area is fairly arbitrary, I think. I used the ones listed on the Wikipedia page, but I am pretty certain that the Colorado list does not include closed areas, but as someone who lives in NH, it is pretty clear that there are ski areas on the NH list that are no longer in operation. I ended up deciding that tracking down the number of open ski areas was too difficult for a quiz like this, and it was best to use the wikipedia list instead.
