Better skiing: utah or colorado

I hav never been to Utah, but Colorado sucks. It is so crowded and expensice. Go to Canada (not Whistler) Lake Louise and Sunshine Village are really nice and not to crowded. They have great snow
 
Every time someone makes a thread like this it always turns into people from Utah telling them to go to Colorado and people from Colorado telling them to go to Utah.
 
im going t heavenly lake tahoe, and taos NM, and angle fire!!!!vgjkhjkghdgj,f.jg.kyayayayahahahahaohhhhhhyaaaaa!!!!111!1111!!!!!!one!!!!!!11!
 
you should be ashamed of yourself telling people to go spend their hard earned vacations in the rain.

go to utah.

go to colorado.
 
utah has the most epic snow its so much lighter and they get big ass storms that blow over quickley and leave behind a week of bluebird.
 
Completely false, You must have hit a crappy day. UTAH is the best hands down. Not at all crowded if you know where to go.
 
"colorado" is a pretty broad term....."utah" usually refers to the PC area....

so, i would say that pc area in utah is the best concentration of good skiing for park/pow/steeps, (pcmr, alta/bird)

colorado as a whole is just as good if not better,(park:key/breck pow:wolf creek, steamboat, silverton steeps Crested butte, highlands, abay) but its not conveniently close together like utah..

abasin from oct-june is a nice bonus too.
 
colorado has epic parks and a huge comp scene if you are into that, but in my opinion is entirely too cold and doesn't get as much snow.

utah has amazing pow, almost always comfortable temps, and really nice parks. Unless it's huge perfect tables you crave the utah parks will be just as fun.
 
utah is full of mormons and shitty beer

colorados snow is lighter, the terrain is steeper, the parks are better. and you have a million resorts you can go to on one pass.
 
very true. north to south steamboat to wolf creek colorado's skiing spans a great distance. meteorologists i'm sure would argue in favor of colorado's light snow. and yes i agree the mormons have tainted the slopes.
 
i dont know about lighter snow i think utah has got us on that. the desert really dries it out and the moisture content mid season is so low. alta keeps chart of the water content per snowfall

some colorado terrain is steeper liek CB and Silverton and Wolf Creek Steamboat and such, but Summit county is pretty flat.

but the one thing is colorado season passes are way cheap compared to Utah's i know my friends paid like 600 for one mountain pass in Utah and i got 2 different passes that cover 8 mountains for less than 1000
 
I'm boycotting Utah because of their involvement in the prop 8 fiasco.

I'm voting everything from Mammoth to Baker > all.
