Also that just proves that people from Eastern US have no grounds to complain about their skiing.

your just fundamentally wrong

first of all, yes some mountains have upwards of 2000 vertical feet on the east coast, but the snow quality just isn't there. the trails are MUCH MUCH icier, pow days are a rarity (i never skied a day of pow before i went to school in Colorado and i grew up in massachusetts skiing 40+ days a year min all around new england/the east coast), the pow that is there is heavier too. because the east coast mountains are much closer to sea level, there are NO trails that are above the tree-line, aka trails on the east coast are narrow and windy, trails in Colorado/Utah tend to be much wider and more clear, with MUCH more room to maneuver.

and dont even get me started on park construction/jump quality

Home mountain: Laax, 6293 feet.

Favorite mountain nearby: Charmonix, 9209 feet.

Idk why you Americans make such a fuzz about vertical drop. :D Take the next plane to the alps and enjoy real vertical drops. ^^ No hate, I love the Rockies, but stop this pissing contest already.

BLUE KNOB PA / 1072 FT / Less than 100 acres skiable.


sounds about right, I hate my mountain. The park sucks ass and no really good runs.
Seven Springs is hour and fifteen away though so life's not that bad.

I am just sick of people bitching about skiing places on the easy with 1500 foot+ vertical when there are so many worse places, I.e Midwest and Ontario.
