Breck/Keystone/Vail, Mammoth, Park City/ Utah, or Whistler/Blackcomb?

Hey guys. What place would be the best place to move for a person out of college with a degree. I would want backcountry, a great park, and LONG seasons (whistler has long ones and has glacier riding). What are the pros and cons of each resort. I am from the east coast and want a big mountain experience and an amazing park. What do you think?

I like Cali cause the weather.

Whistler is the epic of what you want though.

I used to live in Colorado and skied around Breck/Key and Vail.

I cant speak much for Utah or Canada, but, If your looking to rip it up at Breck and Key you can always go to University of Colorado in Boulder, its about 45 minutes or so of a drive, and a super fun town.

If you want to live in the mountains there is a grouping of community colleges called CMC or Colorado Mountain Colleges.

If the BC is your calling you may want to look into Mesa State by Wolf Creek Ski area, Western state which is where i went for a semester, its by Crested Butte, possibally one of the most beautiful places on earth, then there is also Fort Lewis down by Durango and Silverton.
