Best western mountain

Just wondering, what do you guys think is the best place to ski out west? My parents agreed to pay for me to go out there, any place I want, but I really have no clue. I've only been out to Sunshine village. I can go anywhere in the western US or Canada because the plane tickets are going to be free, so where would you suggest? I'm looking for a godo park and also good easily acessible powder runs, since It'd be my first time there. I'm thinking Mammoth right now, but I'm not too sure. Any ideas?

around Lake tahoe maybe, like Squaw or alpine meadows, or even better: Alta, Utah, they got the best powder there.

Normally Whis, but this year, Alta or Mammoth would be good choices. Whistler is terrible. Worst it's been in a looooong time. It's picking up a bit now, but still, it's not worth making a long-range trip out of.

How's Mammoth's skiing outside the park? I want to ski some pow, but it has to be pretty easy to find since I wouldn't know any of the spots, and I'd be skiing solo since I have to go up with the parents.

And the only reason I'd even consider Whis is that I know some people out there that could show me around, but other than that it seems pretty bad. No snow, and even the park doesn't seem up to par this year

Being out there skiing every day, good or bad, just playing around with friends, with no contests or filming- that is the real spirit of skiing for me. that is why i started skiing, and if i lose those moments that is what will make me stop skiing.

Snowbird, mammoth has great terrain and park, but I think you'll have a better chance of pow at the bird, world class steeps.

mammoth's terrain is pretty good but I think snowbird definetly has gnarlier terrain, then again if you're from the east you prolly don't wanna ski anything that burley

Brek has the best park, Vail has a good solid variety of skiing

Any other year I would say Whistler. But this year due to snow issues. I would have to say Mammoth or somwhere in the North/South Lake Tahoe area.
