Resort Baby Names

So, we're having our first kid in December and we want to give our kids skiing-related names (probably end up having 3 or 4 kids). My idea is to give them all resort names. So far we've got:
Aspen (girl)
Brighton (boy)
Sierra (girl)
Jackson (boy)

other options: Camden, Crystal, Bridger, Canyon...
My wife wants to know if there are more options, but I'm running out of ideas. I was thinking maybe run or chair-names from resorts could work, or other snow related words. Any ideas (besides Big Squaw, Whitefish...etc.)?

Don't stress about it now. You have until December. Every name that you see and like write it down and then post it on the fridge or something so whenever you go to get a glass of milk you see the names. Eventually you'll fall in love with a name that you've seen everyday for the past few months. A name is forever so make sure it's a name you'll love forever.

Im a big fan of alta for a girl.  Maybe look into naming your kid after a mountain range i think thats cooler than a ski area.  like Uinta or Kenai

Name your kid something that you can't find on stationary in Target or Wal-Mart or Disney. That's what my parents did.

I am my daddy's daughter. Most definitely. Though my mom is a way better skier than my dad (he skies with his shoulders or something - it's hard to explain, but quite hilarious). I get complements on my name all the time. I enjoy it.

I realy like the name aspen I think that that is your winner. aspen is cute when shes young and when shes a teen its edgy ( lol ) and then when shes old its just gracefull..... its a great name for every time in her life and its awsome and obvious at the same time. good luck

Name it Rocky if it's a boy, or Selkirk. Selkirk sounds viking to me for some reason.

serious? why? i think most of these names sound pretty original--but not too weird-- even to someone who's not into skiing. I'm doing it for sure.

we find out on friday if is a boy or girl. If it's a boy, we're thinking Brighton for sure. Girl-- still not sure- I like Aspen, my wife likes Crystal....

Cody Townsend was named after the peak in the Tetons.  He later stated he was lucky not to be named Brokeback

Although using "squaw" is a really bad idea, who really cares what native americans think?

Try middle names. Aspen Crystal and then whatever your last name is. But Crystal Aspen sounds stripperish.

How about Hemsedal (was mentioned earlier in the thread, i know) or Hafjell? Hemsedal means elevator valley if you translate it directly, so just leave out "dal" and you got something that means elevator! Hafjell means Ha mountain, doesn't really fit as a name. None of them do actually...
