Here's the deal: I won't be able to ski on spring break with my family because of school baseball so my mom said I could take a trip for like 4 days to where I want. I'm not saying that she'll let me go to Whistler for 2 weeks but I want to go somewhere good. I obviously ski park and want a little powder too(I am from Ohio, We don't get powder) The x-games would be cool but I don't want to be there with 100000 people but if you have been there please tell my how it was. Utah sounds alright but I would have to go with my uncle and his family which would be a mess.So I would really appreciate if you guys would just list some places where you would want to ski at. Thanks!

aspen snowmass... you got buttermilk for parks, and snowmass has decent parks, then you have aspen highlands and snowmass for pow. perfect.

if youre thinking keystone, just go a little further up and hit vail/beaver creek. i go there every year with my family and its hella fun. Back bowls=massive amounts of powder. and the park has been on a few tours like the honda sessions

Mt. Hood Ski bowl has the best steep pow skiing and timberline has the biggest parks and the best ones in my opinion and Mt. Hood meadows is pretty crowded but has a descent park and awesome pow skiing and you can take a bus from timberline to ski bowl.

I constantly hear not good things about heavenly. maybe the park is really good, but I have heard Squaw, Kirkwood, alpine all have better skiing. I have never been there though.

utah def offers you the most variety. . .if thats what your looking for

one day you can ski powder at solitude or alta and the next day have a bluebird sesh at PC, what more could you want?

Big sky/ Moonlight Basin is my favorite Resort HANDS DOWN!

-No lift lines
-Its Huge
-Headwaters are sick! 40-degrees +
-Fun Park- NO Keystone/Breck/PC but still very good!
-Great Atmosphere
-Cold Smoke Powder
-Big sky has 2 parks, Moonlight has 2 as well (1.5... kiddie park is pretty weak)
-No lift lines
-NO LIFT LINES
-Hidden gondolas in the woods w/ rope swings...
-Locals are super chill
-Big Coulior

List can go on and on

Basically if you wanna ride park and powder in the same day all day.... Big sky is the place to be

kirkwood has the best snow in the tahoe area, its the lightest i think, cuz the higher elevation. alpine and squaw are dope but i love northstar.

snowmass's park killed buttermilk last year! best park ever in my opinion, imagine keystones park, with on gapers, no people, and a highspeed quad park lift!
