So basically my dad presented the opportunity of me being able to go almost anywhere I want out west for spring break. I don't really wanna ski any park, mainly just all mountain and learn to ski powder since I haven't learned yet living in ohio my whole life. I am not that amazing or hard charging of a skier, like i could do most of the black mogul runs at winter park when I went, thats all i have for reference since that was my only time out west so far. I am just wondering what region I should go so I can book flights soon.

Mammoth might be good. They have a ton of snow so good for powder.

Ski powder just like ya'd ski a groomer.

Tahoe is cool, mammoth as well, hood has cheap spring passes
Not sure when they go on sale
Bachelor is getting pounded
Snowbird is going to be open for a while, that's a cool place too.

I go to breck every year.. this year im going april 7-17th but for you I'd definitely go to Cali, hella snow out there. Breck is always good, low crowds and always get a decent amount of snow. Plus if you want to ski park just for a little bit (which you will want to) brecks parks are good

IMO, there are so many better places to go than Breck in Summit County alone.

My problem is that my ski bag only fits 1 pair of skis and my park skis are thin noodles. I do not think they would do too well with real snow and terrain. I have a pair of S3's for my all mountain skis but I don't wanna screw up the edges with rails.

Go on ebay or craigslist.. you can find a cheap used ski bag for 2 pairs of skis... plus another benefit of breck is staying there you are 15 mins for keystone and abasin. You can buy the epic pass and ski all 3 resorts.

I am pretty sure that you are the only person who is gonna recommend colorado. There is a reason for that... i think i may try to work something out with my friend's family who wants to go to park city / slc area. That isn't final though.

The current plan is to go to tahoe, but my friend told me he is going to park city / slc area so I may go with him so I'm not alone because my dad doesn't ski. It would be ashame to go out there and not be able to do a lot of terrain since I don't have a buddy.

Yeah skip Summit unless you're trying to ski some park. There's better options in Colorado, like Telluride, CB, or Steamboat but I'd go either UT or Cali
