There are a lot of resorts in BC that have fantastic snow (i.e. pow) which don't require large sums of money like Whistler.

Yeah BC is dope but Schweitzer mtn in Idaho is pretty sick and their park has been progressing alot in the last couple of years. (The chairlift jib in Yeah Dude was shot there)

why do you people think schwitzer is so great? be ready to be disappointed when their park is mediocre. on the plus they got some steep tree skiing that's great.

a lot of these are still really expensive  keystone, are you kidding me?

go for bcc and lcc in utah.  with the skisaltlake passes it's $50 a day(tram at snowbird and superday at brighton) brighton has an ok park, but all of them(solitude and alta too) are really good.  If you can find cheap airfare and a motel 6 and some frozen pizza, youre golden.

also bridger bowl mt
there are others i can't think of right now.

Skibowl at Mt. Hood. Lift tickets are cheap, and friday nights are only 10 bucks. Biggest night skiing in america too. Park isnt anything to mention. Good steeps and trees tho, especially when the snow is good.

I never said Shweitzer was great. The guy above me did. I was just pointing out that not only the chairlift jib shot was shot there, but the whole shweitzer segment in yeah dude

I haven't skied too many different places, but Marble Mountain in Newfoundland, where I am now is 1700 vertical feet and gets average 16 feet of snow a year. they have a decent park and pipe, and the top is above treeline, because it is so far north here, trees grow at lower altitudes. Season passes are $160 + tax for a student earlybird pass, which is pretty damn cheap, since that would get you like 3 or 4 days at Sugarloaf. I don't know how much the slopeside condos are, but people come from Europe to ski there.
