Colorado is flat AF and not worth visiting. Montana I'll give a pass if you ski at Bridger.

All these years I thought I loved skiing...
I moved out west once. I love skiing. I moved back because I love my family more.

Truuuuuuu
eh, theres a vibe you get in UPSTATE, vermont,NH/maine that you dont get out west.
sure its super relaxed and everybodys having a good time out west..but theres something about the east coast that almost makes it better than west coast skiing. Idk nothing beats it. Moving to utah will make you a hell of a lot better skier for sure. But it doesnt have the same vibe you get on a -20 degree morning at killington.

Chubz.eh, theres a vibe you get in UPSTATE, vermont,NH/maine that you dont get out west.
Truuuuuue, its the same in MN we just have a close knit skate park sesh vibe always going that I've never fealt out west.
Plus ya know, tow ropes are the shit.
I'll add to this: if you've never left the hill you grew up at, you don't love skiing
lookin at you, 7springs kids
I'm Ricky bobby and if you don't chew Big Red, then FUCK YOU
I think the people who truly love skiing are the ones who consistently ski the same boring resort in MN, day after day, year after year
Mr.BishopAll these years I thought I loved skiing...
Eh I guess not.
But out west doesn't have rope tows Mr. Minnesota skier.

i second that. everyone knows each other. i myself ski squaw and sierra, but there is something special about that midwest/towrope/skatepark vibe
This makes no sense lol.
I've skied and worked at some of the biggest and smallest places in different regions. Different places have different vibes.
It's all what you're into I guess.
So in three weeks when I move to Jackson, I will finally be able to say that I love skiing? I must really hate skiing right now.
Getting out West is easy; staying there is a huge challenge. There are no paying jobs, rent is insane and food empties your pockets.
Still, for the quality of snow, the length of the seasons and the difficulty of the terrain...I love living out west.

this is true for colorado, california, and parts of oregon/washington. but i'll say right now, Idaho has some of the cheapest cost of living in the entire country. I work a part-time job and have plenty left over after bills to do pretty much anything i want within reason

.lencontoo bad idaho is flat and we dont get much snow
we'll be locked in this debate forever.
parts of idaho are flat. Driggs is not. the panhandle is not. McCall is not. The Sawtooths sure as hell aren't.
Pocatello is.
Dont move to Alaska mountians have lot s of spines an there is to much snow also the spring days become to long to much sunlight plus everyone is gey

Obviously this whole thread is a silly troll, but why would I ski Belleayre in the Catskills when I live i California? What would the point be?
I left Tahoe to get a real job in socal and ski 30-40 days a year at Mammoth. Obviously I don't love skiing quite as much as my buddies who stayed in Tahoe. I'm fine with that. Skiing is great, but at this point it is not the only thing in my life. When I lived in Tahoe my life revolved around skiing, not so much anymore. Skiing is a big part of my life in the winter, but I'm a weekender now.

Skiing out west is fun af, but this is too true. Most of the friends I've made out west are originally from the east coast though, so the vibe lives on
Mr.BishopAll these years I thought I loved skiing...
And now you finally know what a poser you are. At least he let you down easy.
If you've never skied Whitewater then you don't love skiing

You need to explore the state a bit more if you think Idaho is just flat lol
-20 days, learning to ice skate in the park, shredding bumps in the rain, skiing on stumps and "thin cover". Builds character.... It's awesome.

No. You are wrong. The Sawtooths are actually in Iowa. Idaho is all cornfields and skiing on garbage dumps with artificial snow. It really sucks. Move to Colorado or Jackson, but don't waste your money on this pit of a state.

Thank you for educating him, Cy. Idaho is just potatoes and mormons.
If I move west for 3 months per year does that mean I love 25% of skiing?
BarmskiYeah Colorado is Flat never come here
some quality vertical you got there
Sun Valley gets honourable mention, even if they dont get any snow. so much vert / chair on the front side.
