So i'm going on a ski trip out west next year, and I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions for where I should go. I am mainly going out for the pow and cliffs, but I would also like to spend some time in the park. What resorts have good park, pow, and cliffs?

Can't go wrong with Salt Lake. You basically got everything 1 hr away or less. Park City is park city. Brighton is rail heaven. Alta and Bird are pretty much a free skiers paradise. Not to mention Utah gets probably the most consistent snowfall in North America. International Airport is right there, and you get all the city life super close to the mountain. In my book, nothing beats it.

I only rode the park when I went there cause I was having too much fun in it and then I snapped my ski. I know Breck has some good side country. A-Basin also has really good big mountain.

Keystone has a couple small/medium cliff/rock hits if they are filled in, the hikable bowls have some fun tree skiing with small natural drops as well. If you are looking for big mountain in Colorado I would recommend abae, breck also has some fun hikable terrain but the lift lines at breck are getting worse every year.
