What up everyone.
I've been looking for places to move out to from Big Bear, CA after high school. Nothing wrong with it just wanting to go check out other places with a little more exposure. I'm of course looking for really good skiing with good park, urban, pow and big mountain with chill people, lots of stuff to do in the summer and a little bit of a party scene. I've been mostly checking out places like Tahoe, Summit County, or Utah. Any recommendations?

Do you want to have skiing be the focus of your life?  Or a weekend activity? 

I lived in Tahoe for several years between college and grad school, and I loved it.  I skied Squaw everyday, and had a great time doing it.

If you are going to focus your life around skiing, I would suggest Tahoe or Mammoth.  Those are the places I know best.  Summit County and Utah would be cool too.  Tahoe is a great place to ski everyday, and it is also a fun place to be during the summer.  It has a good party scene, although the ratio is bad, but sausage fests are part of living in a ski town.

Given how close you are to Mammoth, and Tahoe too, I would try one of those first.  You will definitely find great steeps, lots of snow, and good parks.
