I know that copper has some in upper and lower enchanted and also of the mountain chief. and I know the WP has some by jelly roll, vasquez and upper hole in the wall. post any others you know of. also post thier size.
 
steamboat has a ton, when you hike up to east face or whatever it is, go down east face and a little bit to the left there is a sweet drop, its between 20-30 feet, depending on how fast you hit it, the landing is pretty steep then it goes to flat really fast.

then in the same area if you stay pretty far left, there is a sweet one, it sometimes has a lip and if it doesnt it wont work, you gotta go really fast or youll be screwed, but at first it just looks like a little jump but you hit that and up and over the rest of this hill and on the other side there are some mabye 10-25 ft scattered in that area, but if you hit the jump fast enough you can go over the little hill and gap the drops too so overall its like 45+ ft plus a ton of distance.

first time i saw the jump and i just decided to hit it, i wasnt going fast, and in the air i saw the other side and i was like holy fuck, i landed before the cliffs luckily cause i was not prepared at all.

steamboat has a ton there, just look around and you will find tons.
 
oh yeah there is this one in vail, while your riding up the blue sky lift i think it is, just look left and there is this run, youll know what im talking about, go to that run and they have mabye 3 there, there is one where the drop is mabye 15-20ish, but the take off is shaped like a jump with a big lip. and if you hit it going fast you would go forever, i hit it going like 5 first and it was pretty big, so if you like bombed it down the run you would like go for soooo long.
 
any other advice on steamboat - i will be there for the first time the week before christmas and knowing some of the best runs would be awesome
 
if your looking for good backcountry, the whole mountain is almost backcountry, almost. if you go up storm peak lift, then to morningside lift, turn right getting off morningside, and ski down a little catwalk, then you can hike up the catwalk, and go to east face, or any area back there is awsome, cliffs are everywhere, and if you go out of bounds a little its also pretty sweet. christmas tree bowl is good, and the chutes are awsome on a pow day.

the park is actually pretty good, if you like a bunch of huge ass jumps its not as good as other places, but last year they had about a 50ft table, and a bunch from like 15-35ish. and the rails are actually really good, last year they had a sweet flat, down, flat, down, and some other stuff, plus a really nice pipe.
 
at winter park, if you duck into the trees to the right of outhouse and keep heading right you will find some in a clearing that are around 10-25, and there are a bunch underneath pony express and iron horse
 
everyone giving up beta is a douche guzzling bitch!!!

Those cliffs may or may not be sercet stashes, but many anyone can find (i.e. lover's leap area). Don't just give info to cliff hucks and sweet lines to someone on a public internet forum. That's fucked up, at least just PM him so you don't give up that info to the world. Half of skiing is exploring a mountain and trying to find something cool to ski, why don't you douche's just send ski patrol a detailed map of your favorite smoke shack why you're at it.
 
half the ski patrol uses the smoke shacks dont you know? and all these that are listed are well known cliff bands, its not like we are giving away secrets, just helping out somebody not familiar with the mountain
 
I agree, it is not that people need to be jerks, but great cliff bands and powder stashes should be treated as such. the more that they are discussed on a public forum, the more tracked out and abused they get. i think people should find those over time at their own resorts, it makes them mean so much more. If you want to find some nice stashes or drops while at a resort you aren't familiar with, follow some local looking guys (I use the types of skis and sizes they are riding) and dont talk about what you found. That way, the next time you go back, it is still fresh.
