So.... how gay was the ski town throw down?? Looked at the two finalist cities (Rossland/Nelson, and Bozeman), and let me start off by saying ive never even heard of fucking Nelson before let alone any resort near it. And i can say that Bozeman is very undeserving of this award. I have been there and trust me, its just a bunch of fucking ranchers, plus its a solid two hours away from Big Sky, which didn't impress me much either.
So, who is the winner of ski town throwdown according to newschoolers? I am just baffled that Salt Lake, Park City, Aspen, or Truckee didn't even make it to the top 8.

The ridge has some solid terrain, it's just short. The club's tree skiing is where it's at...the pow is freaking incredible. I wouldn't say it's all groomers though, there's really not that many groomers at all actually.


Big Sky has almost 2,000 vertical feet of lift accessed terrain above the tree line. Saying it's flat is ridiculous.

Yellowstone club? Really? You guys are kidding right? How pretentious. That's not even close to a ski town. Just a bunch of yuppies. I'd ski my tiny ass 400 vertical mound of perfect north before I succumbed to that place

I agree it's definitely not a ski town, nor would I join, I just worked there.

Man I am too old to troll a bunch of high school kids I speak the fucking truth nigga. Someone just said that chute is way bigger and wider than it looks. So now I believe it. Before it looked like there was less than a foot either side of the rock.

Big Sky has a cool ass looking trail map. Just the bottom of the mountain looks (and I have heard is) pretty flat. Its annoying people think I am talking shit.

Now remember...I consider Vail to be as flat as a 10 year old asian girl. I think the CO mountians are whack. Tahoe and Utah get respect (but I like to get fucked up so I wouldn't live in Utah even though I do root for BYU in sports) and Jackson I hear has terrian. I could have moved to Spokane but (THIS ISN"T HATIN) I heard the Idaho mountains were fun but pretty flat. Basically compared to my mountains in Tahoe I shred whenever the snow drops everything in America bar JH is pretty flat.

Remember I am also European I haven't been able to afford to go to the alps more than once but I know what they are like and that is real mountians (SHIT SNOW THOUGH WORSE THAN EAST COAST.) Lots of shit is flat to me I like the real gnarly shit. Like I said at Kirkwood I was droppin in chutes on Wednesday like I don't give a fuck and then on the lift lookin at where I skiied was like WTF I just ripped the dankest park mad well.
