Replying to Best Ski Area

What do you guys think is the best ski area on the continent? I definately think whistler but mammoth is very close behind. In whistler they obvioulsy have one of the coolest villages to massive mountains great parks and summer skiing and tons of stuf to do. THey have bad weather and not always the greatest snow. Mammoth seems to open up real ealry and get a good park and pipe right away. They seem more dedicated to maintaing and building bigger and better hits. They have much nicer weather and i am pretty sure they get more snow. In the midwest i think tyrol wins. I dont know about the east cause I dont ski there though
