^true, but I went to utah in febuary and it was still kick ass. 1000000 times better than east coast. I've only been to utah, but my dad has been to both utah and colorado and he likes utah more. the snow is lighter because it has just come off the desert or whatnot.

Utah is sick. Alta is a skiers heaven. Very little can compair in Colorado. Park Citys park is also pretty nice. I would say, quality:Utah, Quantity:Colorado.

Utah has the snow, but Colorado has tons of mountains (Vail, Breck, COpper, Winter Park, Steamboat, Telluride, Aspen, Snowmass, Beaver Creek, Keystone, and more) and better parks

I live in CO and go to UT whenever I have the chance. That should say it. CO is popular because most skiers ski blue groomers, and that's really all we have here. The terrain is so much sicker in UT, and there is generally more, lighter snow in UT.

I went to both of those valleys in Utah and Park city, and skied a bunch of resorts in Colordado. Utah is sick but Colorado would win my heart anyday. Utah so... mormanish. Vail, Break, not keystone, copper are all sweet. no nevermind utahs better.

umm... i would say that we have a tad bit more than just blue groomers. i.e. silverton, mary jane/vasquez cirque, backbowls at copper, keystone, vail, steamboat, crested butte, aspen, telluride, wolf creek, beaver creek, monarch, loveland(or at least some of it) and then if you have enough experience you can ride loveland pass, berthoud pass, vail pass, and if you want even more of a reason why you should come to colorado, check out the new freeskier, www.coloradoski.com, any of the websites for the listed resorts above, or you can come over here and check out how rad it is for yourself

'never been to steamboat on a 2 foot powder day' On the contrary, I have. Sure they get tons of snow, and sure some of the terrain is good for a little while. The same with all of the places westbum mentioned. The issue is the SHORTNESS of the vertical. Not necessarily a problem with Silverton and Crested Butte, but Summit County, yes, that's a problem. Utah has long sustained steep runs. They even dump you back out at the bototm of the lift instead of at the top of a long flat traverse.

Westbum also mentioned the backcountry. A majority of the populaiton does not have the knowledge or experience to ski the backcountry. Most people aren't willing to fork over the money to take the classes and buy the equipment to do it safely.

An issue I would like to bring up is crowds. Colorado is fuckin' crowded. I lived in and skied Utah during the winter of 2001-2002, when the Olympics were there. It wasn't nearly as bad at the peak of the Olympics as Colorado is on any given weekend. Given, I skied Snowbasin on the weekends and only skied at Alta and the other more popular resorts during the week. But I've had to stand in half hour liftlines in CO in the middle of the week in the 'off' season.

if you wait in a lift line for an hour anywhere, you should be shot (that's a 6th of your skiing day here) esp. if you're not from Texas or the east coast. especially, especially when you need to be hiking to get to the good stuff anyway...i.e. NO LIFTS!

Utah is full of a bunch of fags. In colorado you can ski pretty much the same terrain, and you don't have to deal with mormons. But yeah go to fucking Utah see if anyone cares.

the mormons really aren't that bad--the skiing is worth it. i've never skied colorado, but i looove utah. i'm there every weekend for the skiing. they have everything. if you want powder: alta, snowbird, or even brighton. if you want parks: park city. if you want bumps (which you prolly dont but i'm a freestyler so i do): go to deer valley. besides, if you ski on sundays you don't have to worry about the mormons.
