I live 45 mins away from Alyeska resort in Girdwood, Alaska. So I go there a lot.

I love Beaver Creek in Colorado. Little bit less crowded than Vail, and I have so much fun running the Birds of Prey. Never was much of a powder skiier, I prefer the bumps and jumps.

my mountain: mt. buller, sometimes mt hotham, falls creek - this is in AUS, they can be great with good snow and you can get some awesome skiing in down here.

I'd love to go to all resorts in BC tho :)

Live 1.5 hours away from some of the best hills in the world.

My preference is Lake Louise.

also from AK, with alyeska as my local resort (2 hrs for me).

i've been to 3 in AK, 6 in CO, and whister/blackcomb in BC, and brighton, UT is my favorite resort so far. brighton has some sweet back country access.

My favorites are Snowbird and Alta in Utah. I don't like the culture as much around the resorts though. After 5pm it's dead.

I've also skiied and liked Vail and Breckenridge in Colorado and loved the towns around the resorts. In Canada I've skiied Sunshine, Lake Louise, and Norquay. The last one being the only one I did not care for (low on snow so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt).

End of discussion

I don't like Alta, because it is ALL skiers (Alta doesent allow snowboarders), the WHOLE mountain is one big patch of moguls. And the backcountry that isnt carved up isnt as good as Snowbirds.

That being said, the dual pass where you can ski to both is pretty good just incase you get bored.

my favorites are: snowbird and whistler

i also liked breckinridge, steamboat springs, taos in nm, etc

since i live on the east coast, skiing here doesnt really compare with out west. the best place on east coast would have to be killington or stowe
