Replying to Best place to grow up skiing?

The west coast has bigger mountains and probably better park features (PC, Mammoth, Windells, etc.) and longer seasons, I've heard Mid West has small, shitty mountains but I don't really know. And East coast has typically smaller mountains with a 3-4 month season, East coast is icy and may lead to better urban and mountain skills, Mid West has smaller mountains (I've heard), and may be more localized. West coast has bigger mountains with more park and better snow (I think). So where is the best place to grow up and hone your skills? East coast, Mid West or West coast?
