This year, my dad said he'd pay for me to go on a ski trip to any mtn during my winter break. :) I live in Jersey so obviously I wanna go somewhere out west, I'm just not sure yet. I've already been to Park City, Brighton, Mt. Hood, Breckenridge, and Heavenly. But this was all before I started park skiing.

So.... what west coast mountain would you suggest for my trip this year???

Whistler and mammoth are pretty even when it comes to the hill itself but theres not a whole lot to do at mammoth and its in the middle of nowhere whereas whistler's got the sick whistler village so youl never be bored.

If you're gonna travel west for only park, don't bother coming out west.

If you want some deep pow (good winter break trip), Baker and Alta are never a bad decision. Baker is also half the cost of all those other places for a day ticket.

It depends on how much time you need to plan this.  Squaw is sick, but La Nina can be hit or miss.  I don't know how La Nina affects Utah, but Snowbird and Alta are also insane.  I would probably say Whistler, Snowbird, or Squaw.  I believe the PNW gets hammered in La Nina years, so I would say Whistler.
