I need some help deciding where to take a ski trip this winter. It's my senior year and my parents have agreed to take me anywhere I want to ski. I just can't decide. So I need help picking where. Places I have been are Utah, Tahoe, and a shit load of times to Baker. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Montana. Seriously, come ski at Big Sky. We have unreal powder, it's never crowded, and massive mountains.

Japan, somewhere wild in South America, Europe.


Maybe throw a dart at a map and hope it lands on somewhere with snow(that isn't new jersey)

Go to Banff! Lake Louise, Sunshine, and Norquay are all less than 20 minutes from the village, and Sunshine is still my favorite resort I've ever been to.

My first choice would be Revelstoke with a side trip to kicking horse if they got some snow.

There are also Fernie, Red mountain and white water that you should consider.

Do Japan. Not only is it world class pow, lift tickets outside of the major resorts are ridiculously cheap, and there is tons of other stuff to do besides skiing there.

Japan seriously. It pretty much doesn't stop snowing in winter and the culture over there is amazing. You're not just going for the snow but also for the food and the experience. It's like a whole new world.

Again I can only travel within North America, Japan is a dream of mine but my parents just don't have the type of money for that. And for people suggesting revelstoke or whistler when's the best time to go? I'm trying to stay from crowds so any type of holiday I'd assume id want to stay from Whistler and is Revelstoke ever crowded?

Revelstoke isn't very busy and whistler is so big that it doesn't seem busy when your skiing. I go to whistler every winter break so around Christmas and its always prime but I'm sure January or February would be better for snow. And revelstoke is sick between December and early February. Speaking from personal experience

I know MT is huge but how have you never been to Big Sky if you live there? So fun... tons of vert, chutes, trees, steeps. You're missing out. Besides that, Jackson Hole if you haven't been

I just never really take trips down to Bozeman and my home mountain is good enough of Montana skiing for me.
