Skied:
Fernie (some of the best snow I've skied in Canada)
Marmot Basin (best parking set-up I've seen on a ski hill. Also not super challenging, but definitely fun to bomb around on)

Haven't skied:
Revelstoke (haven't been yet, but will go this year. Looks some some of the best snow around when it's good)
Whister/Blackcomb (also haven't been, but it's Whistler. What else is there to say?)

In order of park awesome-ness IMO:
1. Whistler/blackomb
2. Lake louise
3. Canada olympic park

In order of good snow and terrain:
1. anywhere in bc/golden area aka revy, big white
2. Whistler
3. lake louise
(sunshine gets better early snow than lake louise but the hill gets pretty boring after about 4 days

Gotta be Tremblant for the east coast. Might not be the hardest or most diverse skiing but it's consistently ranked the #1 resort in the east. Only mountain on the east coast I've been to that has a base village on par with the west.

Why is red mountain not on this. Best resort ever. I've been skiing there since I was 2 years old and I like it more than revy and whistler.

Of everything I have skied from Ontario and east, Marble was the most and challenging. Not much for anything to do around it but the skiing was awesome.

name a better hill in Ontario...

Craigleith maybe, but I give DG the edge for terrain and park.

Osler is bigger but nowhere as steep.

Alpine is ok.
