wtf? hahaha

Mt Baker if you stay for a month will be epic, but Jackson Hole and Utah always have consistent good powder. If you just like powder you can go some place like Solitude which doesn't have as hard as terrain but you can have fresh tracks all day. While at Snowbird you have to work for it.

wrong on jackson. it only gets 350inches a year, while just over the pass the Ghee gets 500 inches

Everywhere in Utah gets more snow than jhole too. Jhole just has super easy access to super rowdy terrain

You are also wrong. Jackson hole averages over 400 inches per year and has been over 500 quite a few times. They had their biggest opening on record this year too which is awesome

Snowbird.

3 days straight of waist deep. And then it really let loose, and it was easily chest to armpit deep.

It was literally life changing. Knee deep pow days here in Colorado no longer seem fun. I'd rather go ride park.

Little known fact: with data going back 50 years, Colorado's snow is historically lightest in the country ... we just don't get as much as Utah does.

i've had some remarkable days in southwest colorado at wolf creek ski area. overhead blower during 6 and 7 foot snowstorms. recently, however, my best pow was skied at east vail (sidecountry zone adjacent to vail resort). inconceivably deep, completely bluebird, and no tracks at all. probably the most fun day i've had on skis. here's a photo, trying to cruise over a little pillow, got lost in the white room.

Big sky was amazing when i was there at least 12 inches of new snow every night. My hme resort, alyeska has the highest averags snowfall, something like 600 inches, in the country. However our snow is usually wet heavy concrete.

My best pow day was at Park City last spring. While all the LCC skiers sat in their cars waiting for the canyon to open, I was busy skiing untracked waist to chest deep pow run after run.

Best pow? 3 feet of the lightest snow ive ever experienced at steamboat in like 06.

Most pow? Snowbird. 5+ feet in 24 hrs. but i was like 12, weighed 100 lbs, and had no idea what i was doing, coming from the midwest. it was more like drowning than skiing at that point hahaha

brighton or snowbird. I'd have to pick brighton though cause relatively no lift lines and cliff after cliff after cliff after cliff after cliff all run every run off millies. Also that hike off the top definitely had my all time best powder run-straight face shots the whole way down. Bridger has been up there too, but there's always the paranoia of skiing off some ridiculous cliff on the ridge hike so brighton still gets it

Big/little cottonwood canyons. The JAH-Satch puts out when it comes to pow sex. Early april last year was just retarded deep. I need to become an altaholic soon.
