I'm in Vail right now and it is ballin' as hell. The trails are huge, the terrain is sick, tree skiing all over the place with a massive park to show.

I wanna hit some more places around the US and abroad, let me know where you guys are skiing and what the best part of your mountain is.

Big Sky in Montana. I know there's much better mountains, but that is the extent of my travels so far. Mt Hood also for an awesome summer park

In terms of what the tram accesses, there's not too many mountains in North America that can match the inbounds skiable terrain at Big Sky.

Your moms ass. OOHHHHH THATS WHAT HE SAID.


Sorry, I'm drunk... ish.


Well, the Vail Resorts, A Bay and Copper are my home mountains so I don't count them. I'm originally from Banff, AB so I don't count any of those either. (Yeah I'm a spoiled BETCH) Sooooo...

Basically every major mountain on the East Coast. i.e. Stowe, Smugglers, Jay, Snow. Then when I went out West I skied at Jackson Hole and Grand Targhee. I don't know how those compare to other Western mountains, but compared to the East they were ill as fuck.

When I saw the thread title, I immediately though Vail. And then when I saw you were at vail... LUCKY SOB!!!!!!!!
i love that mountain so much. their park is amazing, the trails ARE wide and there is NO ICE. (unfortunately I live in the east coast so this is not a luxury I get to enjoy most of the time.)
oh yeah and by the way, hit up blue sky basin and the back bowls!!!!
I WISH I WAS THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Alpine Meadows, CA

Ive skied every where from the tetons to whistler, from the PNW to everywhere in Tahoe, and alpine is still my favorite place. Its probly cause i know it the best, and know a lot of the fun stuff, but everything from the vibe, to the terrain, to the jumps, are top notch.

my perfect day would be skiing alpine for 12 hours, the other 12 would involve marisa miller

Spent a lot of time at the Vail resorts, but Alta/Snowbird was the best mountain/s I've ever skied.  So much fun.

Bridger Bowl has some amazing terrain once you get up Slushman's Peak, Whitefish resort is also great and Lookout Pass are all my favorites in Mt.
