I guess i have hookups to get a job with the American Skiing Company and i'm trying to decide whether i want to get a job at the Canyons or at Steamboat Springs this winter. I'm especially interested in their park/pipe siteation. How is it?

uh...i went to steamboat last year...talk to ggmiener or whoever, she skis there...go to the Colorado region. anyway...it had dope pow, and the BEST PIPE I HAVE EVER SKIED. But they had one good jump and 2 good rails, plus there arent many jibbers or shops, and no other parks closer. I would go to The Canyons. Its a better scene. Better Jumps and rails, but a bad pipe (atleast when i was there) there are a lot of jibbers there and you will get a lot of friends quick. Plus you got Deer Valley, Park City, Snowbird, and Alta (best steep skiing ever) within like 15-20 min...its sweet

I had a season pass to the Canyopns last year and I went to Steamboat for a week, Go to Steamboat. The Canyons gets 150 less inches than the rest of the Utah resorts because of where it is loacated. Which makes both of their snow totals equal. Canyons has a way better park but Steamboat's pipe is one of the best in the country

i think steamboat has a decent park..they have two big tables and their pipe and a decent number of rails...not to mention easy back country access for bc booters
