There are a lot of really good ones. But I think Keystone is the best. Other good ones:

Breck
Park City
Mammoth

Carinthia is baller but I don't think its best in the east AT ALL. Loon slays it and Id almost rather ski Sunapee too, better jumps.

I agree to everything accept the sunappe thing, loon is best in the east, mount snow has got millions of features but doesnt match the quality and maintenece (sp) loon has,

Summit County fo sho. Keystone is #1, Breck is #2, then u got Copper is u want fun Jib parks...also Copper has that sick indoor park u can do if the weather is really nasty out. And if u got the cake after taking a trip out to Colorado...go to Mammoth, sick park overall..but make Keystone *A-51* your top priority.

I shredded loon during BMC and I wasn't super impressed. Given it was late season and things were getting slushy, I still like mount snow better. I also haven't been to Loon at the height of the season, so I can't exactly make a definitive conclusion.

1. Northstar
2. Sierra
3. Alpine Meadows
4. Boreal
5. Sugar Bowl


Someone has to rep Tahoe.  But really, I just skied Breck last week and it would fall somewhere in there.

um carinthia being the best on the east coast is certainly argueable. Loon is probably better for everyday riding and sunday river puts on the best events.

ya they ruined a solid jump line to build the BMC set-up. but loons is the best in the east, they have better jumps. also i had a problem with the light in snows park. i hit a jump i thought was a nole and rolled over it and felt like a doucher
