Most Attractive Mountains

Lets face it, as skiers we spend a lot of time looking at mountains and riding down them, but some mountains are prettier than others. In my opinion the sexiest mountain is Mt. Hood and the ugliest mountain is Stetind in Norway


mt.Hood






Stetind

I've always thought pre-1980 St. Helens was almost perfect.




I kinda like Stetind, but I'll agree it's more majestic when it's snowy - like all mountains.



I couldn't find anything on a ski descent of Stetind, but it looks like it would be insane. Go pack your sticks and make history.

Jay Peak is just badass looking



and Whiteface is just beautiful, with those long, sweeping aretes and the lonely slide on its northwest face.

Grand Teton is definitely an eye catcher. I however can't get credit to one single peak when the entire range is so beautiful.

you americans don't seem to understand that a mountain with more trees cut out than left in isn't good looking. have a look at some euro ones where the runs follow the land, and are actually interesting because of it

The mountains around Park City are not aesthetically pleasing at all lol. Go down Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon however.. Gorgeous!! The Remarkables and Trebble Cone in NZ are tight as well.

Stetind


I think you got it backwards with these pictures, Hood looks pretty unappealing without snow on it, so dry and brown, but that mountain in Norway looks so dope! Kinda reminds me of Yosemite
