Where should I live next winter?

Thinking about taking next winter off from school and living full time on the mountain. I'm open to pretty much anywhere in the US or Canada. Don't really care about a park, just want lots of ~10-15 foot cliffs to jib around on and lots of snow. I was thinking maybe revelstoke. Any other suggestions ?

Jackson and alta/snowbird should probably be considered

this.
If you want a quieter experience and no huge crowds go with revi. Whistlers great though, always lots of parties and events going on, and if you ski the right days in the right places you dont have to deal with huge crowds

Nelson/Whitewater has the best town/scene going on out of all the interior BC resorts as well as arguably some of the best snow. Revys crazy,Reds crazy, Kicking Horse is crazy and Fernie is crazy as well. I've had multiple days at all and if i were to choose it would first be Whitewater and second definitely Revy for the vast amount of extreme as hell terrain. Then Fernie then Red but the bonus of being in the Kootenays is your close to red,whitewater and revy..

I think a bunch of these have been mentioned but Fernie gets tons of snow and has good terrain same with kicking horse. Whitewater by Nelson gets crazy good snow and has good back country access. I ski a little hill called Kimberley the terrain isn't as gnarly but you can live right on the ski hill (like I could literally ski to the base area from my backyard) for cheap. We get a decent amount of snow but not as much as the other hills I mentioned.

whistler if you want all around and crazy party. If you are looking for the straight up ski scene and awesome town that feels like home come to revy. lived there last season after doing 3 in lake louise and man can't say enough good about the place. unreal mountain and backcountry, rogers pass is right there as well, the town is awesome and super friendly, awesome sledding and fuck tons of snow.
