Try Montreal? A great and affordable city. Only 1.5 hour drive to Mont Treblant.

Montreal? For Snowboarding? No offense, but snowboarding conditions in the western United States and western Canada is so much better than Montreal. For example Mont Treblant only gets 164 inches of snow on an average year[1], while Snowbird, Alta, Brighton and Solitude in Utah average 500 inches a year.

I didn't say it was the best. Just an option. OP wanted an affordable city with skiing. Montreal fits the bill here :)
A truly great and affordable city, that is also hot and humid in the summer and then frigid in the winter.
I'll keep that in mind for the future. Not sure they'll let me in this year.
