QuaggyGonna have to say Mt. Hood, it has:
Timberline for the late season park, as well as Palmer/Mile + the Glade into Govy.
Ski Bowl for the rope tow and steep night laps.
Meadows for everything in-between.

eheathMammoth, hands down. The biggest downside to mammoth is the remote town IMO. Put mammoth 30 mins from a metropolitan area and its heaven.
SteezyYeeterI'm kind of the opposite, I'd hate to be skiing near a metropolitan area, the crowds would be too much. I'm really just about the skiing, don't care about the amenities that much but this might change when I get older. And I realize you aren't saying you like crowds, but I'm willing to drive several more hours in exchange for less of them, especially if I'm on vacation.
eheathLook, this is a fantasy and in my world I own mammoth and only let my homies go.
LemuelHoliday Valley. Place is wild.
I’d like to say I’m already doing it at Jay Peak but I need night skiing in my life. I was graciously invited to a local’s only type of ropetow last year in Stratford one night and let me tell you, I could live with that type of shit.

STEEZUS_CHRI5Twhat do you like about Mammoth? I've always wanted to go
SteezyYeeteryeah nightskiing is for sure the deal. im so lucky i can ski whaleback during the mid week, shit is a vibe. i assume it would be a regular thing for you, but have you tried bolton? that was fun the couple of times i did it.
John18_6Ruby Hill in Denver
michael_bcI made this choice for myself and bought a house in Laax. This is where I will ski for the rest of my life.
It has great tree skiing, high alpine, and even a glacier. The area is crazy stretched out. Runs are super long with huge vertical drops. There are plenty of back-country options. It stays good in summer with world-class mountain biking, plenty of lakes to swim in, great food, etc.
I have skied in France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Colorado, Utah, California, Washington, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, British Columbia, Alberta, New Zealand, Argentina, Japan, etc. There are great places everywhere, each in their own way. For me, very few places have come close to the breadth of Laax.
If I had to pick a place in North America I'd probably choose Kicking Horse or Revelstoke. Mammoth is pretty sick too, as well as Alta.
STEEZUS_CHRI5TAspen, their gondolas have the best wifi and the surrounding towns are so quaint

fabbeThere is no park you bufoon
r00kieGut answer is A Basin but the big downfall is Colorado and the Denver/i70 ski bro thing that I don’t really care for. Honestly I’m pretty content with Bogus right now. It’s affordable, has tons of terrain and spreads out crowds, when the snow is good it’s got some pretty great terrain, and the vibes generally check out and has a homely feel.
kalle.the athmosphere, two old chairs that lead you up to some of the best slopes and inbounds areas ever. then they have snobben which is filled with side hits and jumps.
there is more to skiing than park you bafoon
snomasterI don't get A Basin. I live in summit county and don't get it. I mean it's alright but they get the least snow around, it's windy af, the vert is short, their parks are lol and the access is meh... I do enjoy the rockpile and pond skim days and have fun any time I'm on skis I just think it's a far cry from a top destination. Leave it to the i70 crowd! Bogus is probably better on many fronts.
I like the Mammoth answer.
But Jackson Hole is my truth.
eheathIts huge, it has a very large variety of terrain, its snows a shit ton and the season is always long. The top to bottom gondi laps are so god damn fun.
There are a few areas I've never gotten to shred there that I want to go to so bad, in the past I've always been filming so I never got to explore as much. A powder day looks so god damn fun.
BigPurpleSkiSuitSnowbird for sure

elm.I thought red mountain was incredible, but I haven’t skied a lot of places people have mentioned
SteezyYeetersounds sick
from the vids i've seen it looks pretty damn kewl. steep techy trees and chutes for when the snow's good. but i've never been so i can't say.
