Mammoth or Tahoe/Truckee area

Mammoth is pretty self explanatory
Tahoe/Truckee has a little more variety but just as much epicness.

park city, the co resorts are ok but way too touristy un less you can get in to the durango area then that would be good too. the san juan's get hit hard every year so lots of powder.

are you actually trying to go to highschool while youre here? i know there are a few schools that have skiing programs...i cant remember what it's called but there's a school between keystone and breck that has skiing instead of PE so you can go everyday after class and on weekends...

if youre not going to school though just pick someplace in tahoe or 'rado and just go for it.

you can choose where you wanna go in th us?  i exchanged too, to switzerland but i couldn't choose whbere i lived.. ended up near zurich which is still super close to the mountains anyways... as for here.. well you could end up anywhere in the us.. and its vast and very different all over.   but if you can choose.. well i might say colorado.. if you are gonna go with a host fam, talk about how much you love skiing and snow and bla bla bla on your application and they usually try to put you with a fami;ly that is like you.. so if you put skiing on your app you know.. your more likely to end up with a skiing famly. okay.

Durango, Colorado

 

Or

 

Salt Lake City, Utah

 

This is where you will get the driest powder, great all mountain terrain and park if you want it.  Look at the San Juan Mountains (near Durango) right now, they are getting pounded (Wolf Creek)
