nice list, I would personally flip Mammoth and Crested Butte.

Must add Killington or Carinthia on the park list.
 
East coast doesn’t exist unless you live there

Avanti is clearly the best chair in N. America
 
The only spots on that list I've been to are Copper and Timberline but I'd put Winter Park on my list for non park. Also any place that has a long park regardless of feature size gets my vote. I don't care if a place has the biggest and best features but if I can get a solid 15-25 min park lap I'm satisfied. Trying to convince mgt at my local to stack all the parks sequentially instead of having them all side by side.

WP park is better than breck too. more features overall, larger features, all levels of progression. all from a single mid mountain base where there aren’t heeps of new to the sport riders stopping the lifts. it aint 2009 no mo. VR is neglecting their parks. powdr corp and alterra are doubling down.

Doesn’t WP have a tow rope too? Been there a handful of times but only stuck to Mary Jane
 
Have you been to Telluride? I like this list a lot but I would put it above A basin and Mammoth. Haven’t skied CB/Taos but I think a lot of people might prefer telluride over those two as well.

Really solid list, agree with some others who said telluride, I would also add grand targhee as my top spot, such crazy terrain, quick laps, no lift lines :)

I think my top 5 (non park) are:

GT

alta

telluride

bird

taos (or crested butte)
