Replying to Colorado Sucks, Europe Rules!
Funny how so many Europeans start wetting their pants when they here of mystical places such as Aspen, Snowmass, Vail and the likes. Little do they know that these places are just hype. When I first got to Colorado, I thought this was all a bad joke: Tiny hills covered with forests with man made runs running like scars from top to bottom. While Utah has somewhat better terrain and snow it still only takes a few turns to get from top to bottom.
My advice to Europeans: stay here and ski France (la Grave, Chamonix, Tignes, Isere) and Switzerland (Verbier). It offers the wildest lift-accessed big mountain skiing in the world. You can save the money that you would have otherwise wasted on an intercontinental flight and spend it on a season ticket.
Hey, nothing against our US counterparts, but unless you live out in AK, you haven't seen it all until you've cruzed to the motherland...
