Just want to find everyones opinions in this, my personal favorite for me is Val D'Isere in France. Really big with a great park and BC.

What about you?
 
Tie between sunday river and sugarloaf. The terrain at the loaf is better then the river but at least when our skiing at the river people at better dispersed and there generally no lift lines on fixed grips.
 
went to whistler in the summer for camp of champions, amzing!

other then that probably killington or loon or waterville
 
I'm thinking of going there next year, what are the general snow conditions like? I heard it has the biggest vertical or something like that.
 
I've never been to alta or snowbird. Everyone raves about alta, but it seems like the mountain has a short vertical. Snowbird seems a lot bigger, just from my internet research. I may be way off since ive never been to either one.

 
UT:

Best All Around-

BRIGHTON | is sick, beside the snowboarding park crew that works there.

Has a great balance of skiable terrain for powder and park. Jumps are normally lacking big time in the park, but natural hits are all over the place.

Best Park-

PARK CITY | has the dopest park (duh) , Fun mellow powder. Best jumps I've ever hit.

Best BC-

ALTA | is obviously awesome on a pow day. Some epic hits inbounds and some crazy skiable terrain with good snow.

NORTHEAST:

VT Best All Around-

STOWE | They have a great park with some of the best tree skiing i've ever had.

VT Best Park-

MOUNT SNOW | I just think they are on point with setting up tons of fun stuff.

VT Best Park Honorable Mention-

SUGARBUSH | They might not have the craziest park, but they definitely have the best set up to make hotlaps.

VT Best BC/Pow-

JAY PEAK| Closest to UT pow on the EC.
 
Red Mountain. Terrain wise, nothing can beat it except maybe Whistler, but Whistler is too busy to really get after it properly. All it needs is more consistent snow and it would be up there with the greats.

That being said, I have yet to ski Jackson Hole, and I have an odd suspicion that Bridger Bowl might be high up on my list too if I get the chance to ski there.
 
i think youre talking about the lines at squaw on a pow day.

jackson for sure. kirkwood is also up there but i ski there often so its kinda normal
 
considering my been to 6 mountains probably mount snow or killy. I've never skiied pow. (tears form)
 
As someone who fell in love with Revelstoke the first year they opened and have been back every winter since, I never saw anyone at the resort so I'm shocked by how many people rank it number one. Keep it our secret.

I must also say that if Red would make that motherlode chair a high speed quad, and next years new lift on Grey mtn, will elevate it right up there as well.

Yes Snowbird & Alta are awesome but things get tracked out so soon compared to the Powder Hwy resorts.

Make a drive up the Powder highway after you fly into Spokane and experience what a true ski experience should be where the only fluff you see is the snow and not the people.
 
Only got to ski one day there, and there were 30+ mph winds, the day before was warm and this day was cold so everything was pure ice. Would like to get back there since my only experience was pretty much hell.
 
The terrain and slackcountry at red is pretty phenomenal, not to mention super easy to access. I've never experienced that mountain with any kind of good snow unfortunately. Was last season worse than usual?
 
Lol this, if you like that the pow lasts longer in the interior its partiality do to lower capacity lifts.
 
Whaleback. It's affordable, has great terrain for its size and Evan makes sure all the kids get properly coached.
 
Les 3 Vallées, you can't really beat it as the area is so huge and they have the newest and best ski lifts in the world and they constantly update them and they are always in the best locations.
