What’s your favorite western US(counting whistler) ski resort you have been too and why? I’m just curious what you all have to say so let’s hear it.

Northstar is the best. Squaw sucks.

Maverick Mountain out of Polaris Montana. Go ride the White Thunder, hit their loading-dock-inspired terrain park and go soak at Elkhorn and then tell me that's not the best possible ski experience.

It's a common joke around Tahoe, you'll see quite a few people tagging their instagram posts at Northstar even though they're clearly riding at Squaw or Kirkwood.

Turner Mountain, MT because its the most core place I've been to. Went there during spring break, skied hot pow, straightlined chop, got too stoned smoking the last of my weed before crossing the Canada border. My crew probably outnumbered the locals. Great place

get in your car and drive for hours and hours in towards the place where the sun comes up in the morning and eventually you will get there

Snowbird cause it has the best gnar. Jackson is close. Haven't been to Squaw or Bridger yet, I presume both will be up there.
