So I might be going on a ski trip next year. I live out east and money is no object . Where should I go? I like powder, obviously, and I wouldn't mind a little bit of park. I can ski basically anything on the East Coast, just for a feel of ability. Where do you guys think I should go?

If money is no object I advise hitting up resorts around Lake Tahoe. All pretty close together and plenty of variety for different types of skiing that you want to do.

Pacific Northwest is dope. Usually a good mix of pow and park almost anywhere you go. But if money is no option, Japan fosho.

this.

if money truly is no object, there is no other answer. BC Heli Skiing. Doesn't really matter where, but I'd recommend Mica or Chatter Creek myself.

Val Thorens in France. 181 interconnected lifts with Meribel and Corchevel. I love Tahoe and Whistler, but if you want go on an adventure head to Europe.

I'd say fly into Vancouver and drive to Calgary and stop at places like WB, red, fernie, whitewater, revelstoke on your way, and maybe finish up at Sunshine Village.

if you're actually any good fly into anchorage and go to alyeska or maybe mount hood / timberline would be a better place for you if you want the best of pow and park.

I know that, but he is looking for a pow / big mountain experience with a bit of park. MSLM is like 400 vert with no cliffs, pow, or even steeps.

If money is no object then just plan your trip at the last minute and go where the goods are.

Dudes even if money truly is no object, he's asking where to go on a forum, he clearly doesn't need to go to Japan or Alaska or something exotic and remote

Just like any other vacationing skier leaving the east, he probably wants accessible, high level skiing. Tahoe, slc/wasatch area, parts of Colorado, and parts of Wyoming are the obvious answers here. You know, places you can drive to from a major airport and speak
English at and buy a lift ticket or maybe a cat trip at most. Ya fuckin jagaloons!

Id seriously say you should go to Chamonix, I dont know much about there parks but you also got Val Thorens, Verbier, La plagne, so I would say go to Europe.
