I know that was a bad question by the creator.  East coast is awesome for pow.  I mean when a 1foot storm is big, then it must be great, right?

Revelstoke has amazing snow, way better than Whistler's is on average. Plus it's closer. Revelstoke sounds like your best option.

What stash? It's the wettest snow in the PNW, and they have no terrain park half the time. Horrible drive up there too...

Revy has only been taking snow amounts for a year. Whistler got more than Revy last year, I think.

im sorry but your retarded where do u live? because im in the Seattle area and baker gets the most snow in the state and pretty sure the country. You can almost go there all the time and get fresh pow. It holds the record for the most snow in the world or country or something idk but it def does not get rain.

Yeah, and Grouse got more snow than Whistler. Nobody hears about grouse because it's a shithole and the snow is terrible quality.

Revelstoke is light and fluffy, whereas Whistler is usually wetter.

hahaha, actually thats kinda true (kinda), cuz if a western skier gets a couple inches, it means nothing. But if an eastern skier gets a couple inches, it means a powder day!

im sorry but you must be looking at all the photoshopped pics everyone puts up here. 

if you actually stopped spreading the lies and looked at the weather you'd see rain, rain, rain that just won't go away.

Im heading to revelstoke for a trip this winter, so I guess I will see if it lives up to the hype. Go on TGR, the resort is super hyped over there~

Taos isn't my top choice, (that would be Snowbird/Alta) but Ill mention it here since nobody else will. Go hike Kachina Peak early on a big powder day, and you will talk about it forever.

Whitewater, BC and Jackson, WY are the best places to ride pow, they may not always have the best pow, but when they do, they are the best (steepest, most easily accessible) and chillest places to ride it

how far are all these BC resorts you are listing off from Calgary?  They seem pretty close to Lake Louise and all that.

go ahead, tell me that. tell someone that has skied at Baker their whole life that it gets a ton of snow.

Fuck no man, all it does is rain. Why do you think we all have fat rockered skis and no poles. fo the water foo. and when we do get a big storm (0.769 inches), the treesharks and yeti will eat you/ rape you. no point in going there.

but this season im skiing at Whitewater BC. So far Nelson BC is the best place ive ever lived. everything is in walking distance, super chill peeps here, if u like the herb then theres also a ton of that.
