Faction prodigy 1.0 for the east or if you just prefer a more narrow ski (88mm this year, 90 in previous years). For west, prodigy 2.0 or if you just prefer a wider ski (98mm).
I just really like the flex pattern in my prodigys and think they are the best performing skis I've ever used

A few that come to mind are Northstar, Boreal, Squaw (when it’s built), Diamond peak, Aspen Snowmass, Mt Hood Timberline, Park city, Stevens pass, Brighton, Copper, Keystone (at least back in the day), breck, etc. etc. What area are you looking for in particular?

My favorite back in the day was Northstar because I worked there and you could hit 15+ features in a line. Can’t speak for how it is now.

Winterplace was the most redneck ski resort I’ve ever been to in my life. Granted, this was years ago but still. I kid you not, I listened to the whole Nelly soundtrack (45 minutes long) on the lift back in the day because so many people fell and they had to stop and start the lift so many times

Grew up in South Carolina. Buddy was skiing winter place (who, ironically, lives a mile from me in Denver now. So many southerners in Denver, it’s crazy. 3 people from my hometown live within a mile from me) and I went and joined him for a day. Wish I drove a little further to snowshoe instead

Always been a fan of Sugarbush, Killington, SVAM, and Copper. I've really enjoyed Steamboat's park too
