Moving West?!?! I need your suggestions!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a lot of exclamation points

I lived in Summit County Colorado For a season... I stayed in Keystone had a great part and night skiing Breck was real close  also Copper and Vail .. I worked at Arapahoe Basin.. its more of a local spot.. real party mountain with alot of backcoutry access .. the best part is You get to ski FREE at every Mountain in Colorado! Even Silverton.. only downfall was not a lot of Ladies but if i had to do it again I would proud go to Aspen # huge mountains x games and pleanty of Cougars.. Ne way Good Luck!!

No good skiing in washington.






















but really, come out to washington. some edits of what you'll get.

Go to Oregon, we get lots of snow and have a really long season

Mt. Bachelor

If your hard worker and can deal with people, I could recommend you for lift ops at Buttermilk in Aspen. Gonna be my third season there as a lifty. Pays the bills plus a little more. good cheap employee housing.
But please have a good work ethic. I dont want to recommend someone who turns out to be a whiny little jib rat, who bitches about work cause they have never shoveled snow in their entire life. 

PM me if your interested and I'll help you out as much as I can. I cant promise anyone a job but I got some pull in Aspen. At least On Buttermilk lift crew.

Truckee CA is awesome. There is like 6 mtns within a 30 minute drive and like 14 is an hour. powder at squalpine and park at boreal and northstar. squawlpines park is awesome this year and plans to make it better. Tahoe is the place to be for sure.

washington blows, super over rated. go to hood

i'm looking into what you're doing, except next year. i'm thinking of moving to cali so i can ski and surf. the life.

You should move to SLC Truckee Aspen Bend, Americuh and live in a 4x4 van. Do it

Thanks for all the suggestions. This has given me more to look at and keep it coming. I'm sure any East Coast Skier would find this info helpful

have you thought about NM??  i moved out there from the east coast and i love it.  taos is one of the sickest mountains i've ever skiied....gnarly, gnarly lines and a growing park scene.  def not as much pow as the pnw but when we get a good system it can be unreal.  typically very, very dry snow.  perfect skiing weather all the time too.  during the winter it is almost always between 20-30F and bluebird.  if its not bluebird then it is usually dumping. 

the town is pretty chill and if you like southwestern style food you'll be in heaven.  the food is pretty ridiculous.  also it is pretty much the cheapest place i've ever lived.  gas is the cheapest anywhere in the country and you can literally live on $10/day (not including rent, skiing, etc.)

the summer's can be slow but if you like rafting, fishing, hiking, etc. there is plenty to do.  most people who work in the ski valley in the winter work on the rio grande in the summer.  def one of the most beautiful places i've ever been.  the landscape is vast. 

bottom line...taos is sick!  beautiful world-class skiing on the cheap...no crowds ever.  and i mean ridiculously cheap.  some fire chronic will run you $10/g
