Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, Utah, Washington

umm other than baker? how bout steven's pass, crystal, and snoqualmie? all have better freeriding (alpental at snoqualmie) than any mountains i've been to in oregon, and stevens and snoqualmie both have better parks than anything on hood this year during the normal season.
 
utah is so played out its rediculous. id give it 5-8 years once this park skiing phase of kids in college or nearing college age stop fucking coming, and everyone in the world is gathering and bunch of people i know are moving to ogden to crowd out snowbasin now, so nowhere is safe.

plus slc is a DIVE, skiing is about being in a ski town, not a metropolis with more walmarts than blacks.
 
ok since I guess we're now actually promoting WA then I'm going with this. Crystal and Baker have some of the best freeriding terrain in north america, and stevens has such dope jumps as well as a great all around mountain. Alpental has good freeride terrain, too, and summit central (formerly known as snoqualmie) has a decent park, one of the best in washington for sure though.

However, when it rains, it sucks, but when we get snow storms...ohhhhhh man.
 
GOLD

if you have more questions PM me, i did the exact same thing and stayed close to Salt Lake City for one year.

it was the best skiing ever, had a season pass to snowbird and one to park city
 
i have lived in south eastern iaho my whole 15 years of my life. haha not much. but anyways where i live (pocatello) salt lake is a 2 and a half hour drive away ( nuff said), grand targhee wyoming ( great kept secret) is just 2 hrs away, sun valley (pricey as shit but fun) is just 3 hours away, and my great home mountain is just 5 minutes away (pebble creek) it has a great small mountain atmosphere with a bunch of great people and it is steep as fuck which is so sick, great backcountry and GREAT ALL AROUN SKIING, it makes you trully a better skier, our park is lacking but the natural stuff like tree jibs, fence taps, an other natural features are dope. I haven't lived anywhere else and hnestly i love the small town feel (population 55,000). never want to leave. oh yeah idaho has every outdoor activitie with the exceptio of ocean surfing for obviou reasos. idaho is a great kept secret with great prices except sun valley.
 
hey, so I just thought Id point out that the season started dec 5th, all it did was snow this year, definitely open through memorial day. washington has real mountains, im guessing norway man would want that, oregon on the other hand does not, so please stop repping it. and mr i blade at shoreline skatepark, you can shut up.
 
the recent crowding of Snowbasin had led me to ride at another super secret, super bad ass mountain nearby.. the name I can not say...
 
hahaha there is absolutely know way in hell you can put washington snow in the mix with UTAH or MONTANA... home of the COLD SMOKE(bridger bowl) powder and the BEST SKIING IN THE WOLRD(utah). I am from washington, lived in Montana forever, and now go to school in Utah. Trust me when i say COME to UTAH. Unless you want to live in bozeman, MANTANA, where the skiing is good but you will have the worst luck with women. SLC forever
 
you obviously didn't ski anytime in WA between december to march. we had way different snow this year. But yeah, take this guys advice, EVERYONE GO TO UTAH. Great snow, great park, great bc.
 
Woyoming is really fun, jackson is epic

as for colorodo, i suggest copper, its pretty fucking fun. and not to croweded
 
If you are looking to ski and have a good experience go to CO. Utah skiing is awesome but living there is shitty because the state is so church influenced,plus living in the city sucks. Idaho no, wyoming probably no because theres not much there except Jackson Hole. Colorado is pretty well rounded
 
We actually repped the PNW for one thread, fuck it, lets just keep telling everyone we just ski in the dirt and the rain. If we try to hard to convince them otherwise... well they might actually find out~
 
Idaho is my home state and we have some pretty damn good skiing!!! We have Sun Valley, Brudage, Tamarack, Bogus, Soldier Mountain and much more. Tamarack is my personnal favorite but that's cuz I love the jumps and pipe. And it's got some pretty good back country.

 
copper sucks, they are short changed by owners and park crew is understaffed. also the run it's on is too flat so jumps have speed problems. also pretty average for summit as far as natural terrain. the even bigger downside is that you only get winter park on your pass, which is far and lame, though i guess you do get steamboat too, but that's nowhere close.
 
umm, are you really saying coffee when the possibility of seattle is there? and one place doesn't make up for the mormons treating caffine like a drug.
 
Harder.

I had to cross a 300 foot pond skim on snowlerblades blindfolded and naked while avoiding the sharks and simultaneously singing the national anthem before they would let me shred.

Barely came out alive, as I nearly mangled the anthem.
 
bastages trying to get me to pay an extra 20 bucks on my season pass to ski green...oh wait I did. I am such a tool of society 8(~
 
live in summit county

for park: keystone, breck, copper kinda

early/late season: A-Basin

Pow: Steamboat is 1.5 hours away(steamboat gets puked on, kinda a well kept secret..)

Sick as fuck: Winter Park(probably my favorite place, it has everything)

oh and if you buy the summit pass and the intrawest super pass thing, you get all of these resorts. it should be like $1200-$1500 for both.

(plus vail and bc for like 10 days??)
