From what I've heard, unless you're going to Alaska, you're better off staying on the east and skiing Bush/Stowe/Jay until the western states get some snow.

A lot of resorts in BC are doing well. Revelstoke has great conditions and more snow on the way.

To be honest, Buttermilk and Snowmass have full parks, and great soft snow.

yeah, I've been skiing Whistler the last few days and while it was good last weekend, it's not the greatest atm. Haven't made it out Revy way yet, but I'm heading there after this weekend 'cause they're doing good from what I understand. Whitewater should be ok as well. Hit or miss right now in BC, but by no means is it "shitty" here.

I'd say BC (Revelstoke area is where I'd put my money on best conditions) and maybe parts of Washington is your best bet for good conditions in the west. I also know (from reading TGR forums) that some Tahoe people have migrated up to Oregon to get their fix. Not sure how good the freshies are, but they've got coverage.

Unless you want to go to Alaska or Europe I think your looking for whichever is the least shitty

This is beneath the lift at Keystone as of yesterday. I was skiing this same run last year with knee deep snow and no rocks in mid december.

If you don't mind a smaller resort in the middle of nowhere Powder kings sitting with a 300cm base right now twice revy and a 100cm on whistler. Never skied their but I keep creeping their snow reports and getting jealous. Only open on weekends but that just gives the snow more time to build up so your always getting deep shit. That said its not going to have the sick verticle and terrain that whistler have to offer but for powder they are king! :)

In France, north alpes are drawned under the snow. It is said by the manager of Flaine (french resort) that when last year they had 2 meters (6' feet) of snow over the season, this year they've had 4 meters (13' feet) in 3 week. Damn, every morning in december I use to ski in real deep pow !
