Favorite ski resorts?

[AlexHale]

Been Skiing on the East Coast for a whole now, Beech, Cat, Sugar. Been looking to get away from eastern ice to powder for a weekend. Where's the best place to go? Jackson Hole?

there are 6 GOOD resorts less than 1 hour outside of salt lake city. there are 2 more good ones less than two hours away.


however, the snow season here has been pretty miserable so i can't suggest you come here and maintain a good conscience haha

I would recommend vail CO or tahoe, CA i have always wanted to hit up whistler in BC as i heard its pretty sick out there, i did spend a season living in vail and the mountain is incredible

If you get a chance try to get to Big Sky outside of Bozeman. Out of high school I spent a couple seasons working at various resorts and BS was the one place I compare all else to.

If you get a chance to have some avalanche training and have a beacon in advance I recommend it in order to take the Gondola. Not sure how the snow is though.

I'm a big fan of Targhee and Tamarack. Sun Valley is nice as well.

St. Anton Austria. You can ski or board from town to town.

Always wanted to try Jackson hole.
Like Breckenridge in Colorado. Kirkwood was awesome too. Squaw Valley pretty good.

Colorado is the best, stay in Colorado.

Besides the east coast, I've only skied Heavenly, Alta, Snowbird and Deer Valley. Been to Alta 3 times and I love the place so much. Alta just feels like home haha. But, I'd suggest trying Bromley in Vermont if you don't want to leave New England. It's the only southern facing mountain in the Northeast (I think) and it feels a little like skiing out west. Beautiful sunny days, and the snow can be great (especially after these storms we're getting)

Traitor. Next time you eat at the Garage I'll have someone slip something untoward in your clam chowder.

Stig's right though, Tamarack is great too (when the snow cooperates).

Hmmm.....that's a tough choice.( former ski patrol/risk management supervisor, and NS Search and Rescue)

Whistler/Blackcomb is my back yard, and it's awesome, but the number of tourists with more money then ability.....kills it for me, but.......if you really want to ski there go with a local.

I prefer small mountain vibe to huge mountain ego. That said, I like Whitewater the best. It's a small, bowl shaped mountain, in Nelson BC that has great beer, tons of bud(if that's your thing) a laid back town, and phenomenal deep dry powder! The best in the world they say..........I skied there with a snorkel more times then I can remember.

Between Jackson and Sun Valley, I'd go Jackson for scene, or Sun Valley for serenity.

Everything Park City/UT is likely going off this weekend, but due to Sundance and not snow.

Well despite living with in eye line of 2 hills at the base of one which consistently makes lists for the top 25 hills in the US and with in a driving range of 8 or so others, I have not been in years.

I will have to agree with Ski Up there Big Sky has always been my fav, though I have not been to many other places and have all but given up down hill

Copper mountain Colorado.

In the year 2000, I drove my first e30 to Girdwood, AK from Franklin, TN. This is the very best in the gnar-gnar pow-pow brah. One of National Geographics 25 best in the world.

Also, sea level. Bam.
