Best Place to Ride Pow

[16candles]

I live in BC and i am planning on heading out to a resort, but i cant go to whistler. I ride Big White. Im thinking Revelstoke

 

[inactive]

east coast, duhhhhhh

 

[kenevil]

Yeah, Revelstoke for sure. So stoked to ski there this season.

 

[Funnel]

I know that was a bad question by the creator. East coast is awesome for pow. I mean when a 1foot storm is big, then it must be great, right?

 

[Kevski]

Revelstoke has amazing snow, way better than Whistler's is on average. Plus it's closer. Revelstoke sounds like your best option.

 

[skier_boy26]

revelstoke, kicking horse, red

plenty of options in BC

 

[JacheOReally]

West: Alta, Jackson hole

East: Jay Peak

 

[yuck]

Mt . Baker is good apparently, in freeskier magazine it said they got like, 650 inches one year or something

 

[skier_boy26]

huh? baker gets rain

like 1000+ inches of rain. not worth going there

 

[paone]

Baker's awesome, i hear Red's good, whistlers always good but u cant go there so yeah

 

[Ben.]

hahahaha pnw kids are so protective of their stash

 

[Aaaron.]

in your back yard.

if you live in summit...

stupid west coast

no body likes you

 

[Kevski]

What stash? It's the wettest snow in the PNW, and they have no terrain park half the time. Horrible drive up there too...

 

[Bob_Gnarley]

Revy has only been taking snow amounts for a year. Whistler got more than Revy last year, I think.

 

[00000000]

Yeah Baker does suck, but the worse place for pow is definitely Red

 

[K.C.Deane]

Are you thinking of just in your area? or in general?

 

[cfox]

im sorry but your retarded where do u live? because im in the Seattle area and baker gets the most snow in the state and pretty sure the country. You can almost go there all the time and get fresh pow. It holds the record for the most snow in the world or country or something idk but it def does not get rain.

 

[Kevski]

Yeah, and Grouse got more snow than Whistler. Nobody hears about grouse because it's a shithole and the snow is terrible quality.
Revelstoke is light and fluffy, whereas Whistler is usually wetter.

 

[neon1peace]

hahaha, actually thats kinda true (kinda), cuz if a western skier gets a couple inches, it means nothing. But if an eastern skier gets a couple inches, it means a powder day!

 

[.SimonB.]

Jay Peak! Amazing eastcoast, comparable to big resorts out west, just a tinsy bit less vertical.

 

[Balto]

hahaha so true

 

[HankTheTank]

No, you are retarded.

 

[Caveman.]

Some people....

 

[ct_steeze]

shhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

 

[seeingstars]

yeahJay is just absurd

 

[IceCreamer]

no jay wont be getting any snow this year even less then baker

 

[skier_boy26]

nah they just got a lot of rain. like nearly a FOOT of rain. obviously they dont get snow.

rain rain rain

no snow, no powder

 

[bigwhite.steeze]

revelstokes pretty much the best pow around...lightest you can find and plenty of it...red's good too but i wouldnt say as good...

 

[coolhandluke]

im sorry but you must be looking at all the photoshopped pics everyone puts up here.

if you actually stopped spreading the lies and looked at the weather you'd see rain, rain, rain that just won't go away.

 

[Scott~]

Im heading to revelstoke for a trip this winter, so I guess I will see if it lives up to the hype. Go on TGR, the resort is super hyped over there~

 

[skibum193]

ya, and this place called stevens gets sooo much rain they are going to start their own bottled water company. no joke

 

[coolhandluke]

no joke. look at all the flood warnings on NOAA's website.

 

[Austeeze]

Revelstoke cat skiing, otherwise anywhere interior BC (just look at Turbo!) Silver Star etc...

Best pow in the world is over in Japan though

 

[AALT]

Ratallack!

 

[Jballz]

definatly not pnw we get 4 gallons of rain in a week...... every week, no snow

 

[Deletedtoday]

utah

 

[SKI3PO]

Taos isn't my top choice, (that would be Snowbird/Alta) but Ill mention it here since nobody else will. Go hike Kachina Peak early on a big powder day, and you will talk about it forever.

 

[16candles]

k thanks for ur opinion guys

 

[PartyHon]

Schweitzer on a good day

 

[smuggs]

hit it right on the head with mt. baker!

 

[AlexMartini]

Whitewater, BC and Jackson, WY are the best places to ride pow, they may not always have the best pow, but when they do, they are the best (steepest, most easily accessible) and chillest places to ride it

 

[SkierJulie]

Alta, Jackson and Silverton are my favorites.

 

[skithebert]

how far are all these BC resorts you are listing off from Calgary? They seem pretty close to Lake Louise and all that.

 

[K2skipunk]

go ahead, tell me that. tell someone that has skied at Baker their whole life that it gets a ton of snow.

Fuck no man, all it does is rain. Why do you think we all have fat rockered skis and no poles. fo the water foo. and when we do get a big storm (0.769 inches), the treesharks and yeti will eat you/ rape you. no point in going there.

but this season im skiing at Whitewater BC. So far Nelson BC is the best place ive ever lived. everything is in walking distance, super chill peeps here, if u like the herb then theres also a ton of that.

 

[A.R.]

revelstoke, and its not to far away from you.

take a trip to retallick.cat skiing!!!
