Replying to Season 21/22 in the USA, Tips and tricks?

Hey boys and girls! I've come to realize it's about damn time I spend a season up in the mountains. At first I was thinking the Alps, mainly Austria (I'm from Sweden). But since I have a American citizenship I thought I should make some use of it!

So, do any of you have any tips on resorts that I should avoid? Or what areas are the go to? (I ski everything but mostly looking for pow and some park).

How about getting help with jobs/housing?

What kind of budget do I need for a trip like this? Do I need to get a car while I'm there?

Or any other generall tip that could help me out would be greatly appreciated!

Much love!
