I don't think people on the east coast complain about the vertical feet but about the snow quality and the amount of snow

yeah, the east coast and the midwest both suck compared to colorado, utah, bc, etc. the midwest more so definitely but people on the east coast still have every right to complain when compared to the skiing in other parts of the world

if only they had something else to brag about...  And the slides(when they open) are deffanatly open snow fields alot like out west.  But we only get to hit them 4-5 days a year if we're lucky, and they are so paranoid about avy danger they dont open till late march/april.

Yup the scale is different.

Le Porte du Soleil for exemple: 800+ miles of slopes, 12 resorts connected, 283 slopes, 196 lifts and 10 terrain park :) .

And less then 45min from my house. You can't beat the alps.

seriously we go so hard it would probably make your head explode. you might wanna don a blindfold if you ever come to my mountain and take a cruise through the park because the tricks we stomp on the regular is fucking eye-popping. you can not step to our shit and if you even try we will shify your slimy head off while sucking a beer down through a fucking cigarette.
