Hey guys. What place would be the best place to move for a person out of college with a degree. I would want backcountry, a great park, and LONG seasons (whistler has long ones and has glacier riding). What are the pros and cons of each resort. I am from the east coast and want a big mountain experience and an amazing park. What do you think?

the difference is whistler blackcomb has everything you need in one place, good park (especially if you like jumps), and the best backcountry out of any of the places listed. oh, and you're only a couple hours away from baker if you want to change it up for a weekend.

im biased because i live in vail, but there is tons of bc and breck has possibly the best park in the country. this is a hard desicion, but i would probabaly say whistler, just because it has such much great stuff all right there.

hte best combo is either mammoth or whistler if you are looking to buy one pass. I don't know much about colorado, but the mountain of park city sucks, and the rest of the utah resorts have stupid parks, so you woul dneed to buy two passes
I used to live in mammoth. It's a sick mountain but not much opportunity there for someone with a degree. You could def. fins something to do in SLC.

those mtns are all basically a toss up. if you want a real job you should skip mammoth cuz its no where near a metropaltian area. the one thing about bc in CO vs the others is that its way more dangerous. you really need to know ur shit in CO. you really need to know ur shit everywhere but CO can be sketchy. oh and PC is only good for park. the rest of utah kills it for big mtn but not PC
