Where is the best skiing in August???
I want to go on a trip, looking to ski trees, or backcountry, just looking for good conditions, powder and sun/warm weather (if that is even possible)!

Have any of you gone on a trip outside of NA in the summer to ski? Where was it and what was it like? Any recommendations?

those whiney bitches who live up there really should let eclipse do their thing, the area there is actually really sick, good terrain (unlike echo).
