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.)?

I don't really know about baby names, but we named my dog Chief, after one of the runs at my home hill.

If you have a boy next, I think Bridger would be an awesome guy's name.

Just so it's clear to all the people still suggesting names who haven't read the thread:

THE CHILD HAS BEEN NAMED.

I just have to add a few shots as a proud uncle(/Claim)

I like Aspen, good call, and congrats!

I'm reserving Mary Jane for mine. And Shane for a boy.

I can honestly say i will never name a child of mine Stowe, unless i want him or her to be an elitist asshole who is eventually just submissive little bitch, trained by AIG and the US Government

I guess as long as we are still throwing goofy shit names for future Gbalkman offspring I skied Durango Mountain Resort when it was called Purgatory.  How do you think a kid would like growing up with the name Purgatory? LOL!  Someone probably said it earlier, but I didn't remember seeing it in here.

I'm more for putting the worst resort names in a hat and drawing one, but hopefully the name is working out for the kid. Not really obscure enough for me.
