you can't even compare east coast skiing to whistler and park city, it is much different and smaller terrain.

It certainly isn't comparable to places like Whistler, Park City, etc. but it is what you make it.  Watch a Meatheads flick.

first off, your username is ludicrous. who ever heard of anything but rain up here

secondly, I seriously hope you're joking. not trying to be an asshole but the EC is obviously flatter and more icy than the west. pretty common knowledge. If you're visiting, you can probably ski if you want to but it's not why you would visit...

its ice 90% of the time. come to the EC if you like skiing bulletproof conditions most of the time. powder is good when it is here but not even comparable to west

The main thing I dislike about the east coast is how small the mountains are. I really wish we had some mountains like revelstoke or something. I live in Vermont so I'm used to tiny "hills" like Bolton Valley(which is awesome btw)

We have some good mountains for park but I would forget powder inless your going to like jay peak and shit up there. We generally have a wet spring with a fair amount of rain.  Icy winter, generally diffrent kind of snow all together.

its definitley not as good as out west, but why do you think so many pros come from the east? they learn insane tricks on shitty, icey jumps and parks and then can float them all out west.

east coast builds character

east coast has epic powder but you gotta skin to get to it if it hasnt snowed in a couple days.  theres definitely some good terrain at stowe, smuggs, gore backcountry, killington/pico backcountry, jay and tucks.

east coast skiers are on point cause they use their edges and have control.
