Mt Baker,  from what i know (i know two people that live there) it dumps all the time, like constant powder (holds the record for most snow in a season, around 95ft). its also tons of BC, like basically, you cant go there to just go ski as a family, its really a local mountain and everyone has their avi gear, its supposed to be amazing

i actually love pow buddy, and i have katanas too.

karmas are fine anyway, 87 underfoot is plenty wide, you just gotta know how to do it.

The ones I've been to in no particular order because they are all good in their own respective ways:
Squaw
Whistler
Jackson Hole (can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet)
Highlands/Snowmass



And I think Sugar Bowl is really underrated

I think you need more than around 300 inches a year to be considered for best powder and terrain~
