One resort for the rest of your life

Would everyone else be subject to this? If so I would say Bohemia: Awsome and welcoming staff, no Vail drama, cheap, great snow, plenty of terrain to keep me interested, closeish to home ect...
 
St. Anton am Arlberg

"a region that includes 94 cable cars and ski lifts, 340 km (210 mi) of groomed pistes and 200 km (120 mi) of deep-snow runs, all of which are covered under one liftpass"
 
Gotta say whistler, would love to choose a smaller, more low key resort but nothing else adds up to it all. And it's not in stinky America so that's good too.

this.
 
As much as I hate it, Whistler. It's got everything, park and amazing terrain. But considering I'm getting older and my bones are about as frail as balsa wood I'd go for Chamonix
 
Blue Mountain, but living in Swiss meadows. Ideally I'd want to work on park staff.

I used to live in Swiss and work in the Blue park... I literally clicked my skis on out the front door and skied to work. Got right to the top of the park for my first inspection, then picked up the sled at the bottom to shuttle the rest of the staff up - then went to check the rest of the parks on the mountain.

I actually never wanted to work at Newschoolers - I wanted this to be the rest of my life. However, I didn't get the job as park manager (I was only a shift leader at the time) and due to life issues I left and took a job here.

Sure history seems like it worked out, but god dammit was that the life.
 
It's a good question but St Anton / Zermatt / Whistler are all mountains within a set of connected mountains. That's cheating, how about just 1 damn summit or 1 village that includes surrounding summits with no closer villages. EG this area has multiple summits and is friggin huge but I wouldn't call it "1 resort".

If I can ski from one resort to another and only need one lift ticket, it's fair game.

Okay, so which of the 8 resorts should I stay at even though: "Les Trois Vallées is one of the largest ski areas in the world which is connected solely by ski lifts and slopes."
 
Well since I'm from Wisconsin area Granite Peak. If I have skied anywhere in the west I'm sure my choice would be different.
 
yea its gunna be hard for me to leave whistler, especially since im a cook. tons of nice places in town for me to work, sushi, lots of snow, good terrain, good parks, sushi, close to vancouver and the ocean, its not in the us, mountain biking + summer, sushi

la grave/duex alpes, or chamonix would be my other choices.
