squaw valley in tahoe is pretty good for big mountain because virtually everywhere you go youll find sick cliffs to drop and they have some pretty steep runs. Snow wise tho I wouldnt say its the best.

I think if your tryin to actually rip some big mountains I would go to Alaska although its probably gonna be damn expensive to get a heli.

Mt. Bakaaaah. World record for snowfall in one season, and many many storms. The powder is always falling, the BC is amazing, plus the locals are fun.

Yeah the entire northwest actually sucks, don't come here at all. The powder we get actually eats your skis, no lie.

I think Utah is where I am going to
look into. It has alot to offer the only
thing is all the resorts do not offer
multi- passes like Tahoe and Mammoth
Hummm.,....Decisions...

You guys are retarded. I have no idea how Jackson Hole has not been mentioned yet. In addition to that, Whistler, Alta, Snowbird, Squaw, Kirkwood, Mt. Baker, and Revelstoke would all be good choices.

Jackson is #1 on my list of places to ski big lines, but Alta would be a really good choice too.

yeah jackson is so sick. they have everything there too, steeps, trees, cliffs, awesome BC. Alta is good, but kinda crowded. Kicking horse is like canada's jackson hole. its steep and its BC is really sweet too. There are so many fun chutes right off the lifts and even better ones within a short hike. Also, it is never crowded. you can ski pow pretty much all day

Jackson Hole casue you can ski Grand Targhee when the gapers come over holidays. They have the best terrain I think in the lower 48.

Don't go to Alaska, unless you are LOADED. Yes it has insane powder with many first descents blah blah blah, but it's insanely expensive. Alyeska is good, but places like Whistler, Mount Baker, Jacksons Hole, Squaw, Alta, etc are better for everything else overall.
