the only place that i have been to that was close was whistler, but i heard colorado is close as well, how bout you guys? but utah pow is still da beest.
 
yea iv heard japan is awsome and i also wrote on their that i believe utah pow is the best i was asking for your opinions on anything close to it not asking if you could come in and say once again that we have the best pow.
 
this, was thinking the same thing.
i rode Colorado all my life up until this year. Colorado has some damn nice pow, but I'm going to say Utah is lighter.
 
There is good pow all over the place, depends on what floats your boat. Tahoe loc dogs will tell you the Sierra's are what's really hood. Baker cats obviously think that shit is the illest or they wouldn't live there. Utah is dope, but I'd say the 10 feet of pow in Mammoth right now is a little better than the couple feet here.
 
Couple feet? Maybe at Park City, but once stuff starts opening in LCC (where there has been like 50+ inches) you are going to see the best cliff dropping conditions ever. Light snow on top of a heavier snow base. You really can't ask for better than that to send a nice big ole cliff.
So yeah I would take what we have over the 15-16% that Mammoth got.
 
Mitch. A 10 foot storm beats a 3 or 4 foot storm. You think I don't know what Utah is like? Clearly it's the best spot to be, otherwise I would live elsewhere.
 
True that, but I don't know, I am much more stoked on the storm we got. I am not a fan of the sierra concrete. They will have a nice long spring because of it though.
 
Montana gets blower ass snow all the time (like a normal utah year) its dope but way colder.
 
Yeah... but 24" in the past 24 hours this morning. At least 15" the day before and the entire week before this weekend we got about 3 feet total I think. So Im pretty sure we had 6 feet or so at Alta out of this storm cycle.
 
Having lived in Colorado, Utah and Whistler its fair to say Utah has the best powder of the lot.

Colorado second...however I have to give it up to Whistler's snow (being wetter) and how well it sticks to steeps. Some of the runs skied at Whistler wouldn't be able to be skied with blower pow pow.

So to each their own.
 
10 feet of snow beats 3 feet in the long run, but sometimes it gets to a point where it's just too much. I prefer 2 or 3 feet of pow on top of denser but not hard pack. With 10 feet of fresh the only thing you can ski has to be so steep...
 
yea Montana is cold as shit all the god damn time, but once they get enough coverage they easily compete with Utah.

On another note i would much rather have 3 feet of fresh Mormon snow than that heavy wet California snow even if its deeper than me. As for Colorado i simply dont want to compete with the crowds and busy roads just to ski fresh, although their snow is hella soft.
 
for real that sierra cement kinda sucks to ride in unless you are on wayyyyyyyyy steep terrain or making park features ha, but yea iv been doing all kinds of cliff drops at brighton the past few days soooo fun.
 
seriously, a 10 ft storm is dope for base but useless to actually ski unless you have a helicopter. just ask bentley.
 
You guys are all fucking retards. 10 feet was over 5 days. 2 feet a day average is fucking epic. Shit is steep enough to ski when it's deep because it's not Park City or the east coast. Also, everyone that commented has never fucking skied there! Read the original post I made. I am not claiming Mamm loc dog, I said that there is good pow there in response to the OP and all you girls start claiming Utah is better. CLEARLY it is or I wouldn't live here.
 
yea man for real the pow istn to bad but when it dumps like that it usally isnt to great but otherwise it is not to bad, but i have been there many times a second home actually, going there again on the 16th off feb cant wait
 
heh

i was riding up little cloud lift and the road to provo opened up and i was about 3 chairs away from getting off. best moments of my skiing life right there.

 
Washington duh. not only does it snow at 35 degrees here we also get sleet freezing rain and just rain frequently. but when we do get decent snow here the terrain is wild
