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.)?

Ande is such a sick way to spell Andy.

I really like Brighton and Bear.

Have to say though, I hate Crystal as someones first OR middle name. i just hate it.

I have no problem with Aspen, however. it sounds cool. Nieve is neat, it's snow in spanish, but people would probably have trouble pronouncing it.

Not skiing related, but I've always loved the name Eva, pronounced like Ava.

Yeah, don't be a dick. Who cares if their kid likes skiing or not? It's still a unique name. I know Aspen is pretty stuck up, but you can always say you are named after the tree. I'm actually named after the tree. My mom doesn't like Aspen either.

seriouesly though, thanks for all the suggestions, we changed our minds about a lot of the names we were originally planning on. We're thinking Ashland, Aspen, or Crystal (with a 'k' maybe..?)-- and we have a few months to think about it. I've seen a lot of references to porn-stars and sluts for crystal and aspen. how bout ashland? sound slutty?

Ashland is a nice name. Ashlan would be nice too.

No, I know what you meant, LOL. There's absolutely nothing wrong with Aspen. It's not a stripper OR porn-star name. No one has ever asked me if I was a stripper. HAHA!

We went with Aspen.

Aspen Marie Balkman.

If she is strong enough to stand by next December, my goal is to put her in ski boots and have her ski a couple feet down a mellow hill -- then she can say she's been skiing since she was 0.

Thanks for all of the input!!

Brighton is also the name of a pretty shitty place in England too though.

Aspen if you want a girl with cute name.
Misty is my favourite,but than are probably perverts be all around her,and you,as a parent probably don't want that.

That's awesome. We had the same skis and I did the same thing in our front yard. My son wasn't cut out to be a telier. This is the first year that I put my kids in my ski program. They started in Vail Devo two weekends ago. The first day was the most stressful day I have ever had coaching. Getting them organized and then being up on the hill knowing that someone else is responsible for keeping my kids safe on the hill... Probably sounds goofy but I was a wreck. Stoked for you. The fun keeps getting bigger; trust me.
