of all the places ive been id say copper mountain is the best. Its all natural they never did anything to it. the glades are just perfect you can go so fast on them. Other than that i think steamboat was pretty good. Are the trees good in whistler? cept id be scared going treeskiing in whistler with grizzly bears

I like skiing in firs way better than aspens.

Whistler is indeed sick if you know where to cut off the cat tracks.

Alpental may be small but its tree skiing is the best I've ever had.

you know what man, I actually really love that mountain. The town is expensive, they don't really get as much snow as other places besides the occasional dump, but for whatever reason I always have an awesome time building booters and whatnot and just riding the trees. The OB skiing you can do there is pretty epic though, but in bounds is pretty tame.

coming in third probably, The Burn at Breck.

agreed. There just a few short sections of trees which can be good, but nothing like Peak chair.

I could ski Peak Chair all day, every day and be happy. I you know some of the backcountry there, the lift has everything you could possibly want for powder skiing. Cornices, Trees, BC, Fastest groomers on the mtn, cliffs.... practically orgasmic.\

Also, no mile-long flat cat track out.
