what is arguably the best mountain you have ever been to or which mountain you would want to spend a full season at?

My personal, hands-down, best experience has been at Silverton. This place is what dreams are made of, but you need to put in a little bit of work to get the goods. That being said it's hard to put Silverton in the same category as most other "resorts".

I'm not sure how to word this best, but if we are talking about more "accommodating" resorts to spend a full season at my top picks are Crested Butte and Revelstoke.

Silverton is so much fun, Crested is probably the best mountain is Co, but instead of revelstoke id pick kicking horse

If i had to pick one mountain for the rest of my life..would be a toss up between Squaw Valley and Whistler hands down. Amazing ski culture and both mountains are so sick

Revelstoke is super baller, so is Whitewater and Fernie.

The Crested Butte is also a mindblowing place

Of the mountains I have been to, I would have to say Squaw Valley. From the diversity of the terrain, the snow quality, the legend, everything... Squaw beats out everything I've been to and I have to go back on a powder day. That said, the best ski day I have ever had was at Heavenly. Nice open trees, low angle slope, waist deep powder. It was fucking insane.

Crested butte is my shit. It's already blown up but hopefully it's not retarded being on the epoc pass. Park could use some work but who needs park when the mtn is legit. Big myn feels, small mtn vibes, cheap pizza and beers, i can dig it. I could live there.

Jhole is fucking sweet, i dont think i could live there though. Both financially and in general. Park is pretty flowy though and actually pretty solid.


For VR in CO i think beaver creek is my fav. Plenty of room and all the rich gapers stay on the groomers. Ive found knee plus pow weeks after a storm without even trying. Some places everythings beat in half a day.

Digging kirkwood a bunch but have only hit it 4 times. Reminds me of crested butte for some reason. I've gotten some good pow in this season there.

Bridger bowl. It's like my favorite part of Jackson hole (The Crags and granite canyon) but it's the entire two mile ridge. Endless lines.

Wasn’t trying to be deep. If I was I would have written a paragraph.
