Alright guys, so hears my situation.

My mom wants to take me on a ski trip to, pretty much anywhere.

Places we've considered are:

St. Anton, Austria
Park city
Aspen
Whistler
Crested Butte



Give me some more good suggestions

It can be anywhere, like Chile, or Europe or whatever

pretty much ends this conversation. go to Europe, ya they might say go to the big names here in N.A but Europe is Europe, and the alps are the alps.

I like Crested Butte the best, but I live here
also SLC for a lot of options and really good snow
Whistler would be awesome

errr, what kinda skiing do ya like?
if you like park you might as well stay in NA. sure there are some good parks in europe- laax, avoriaz, les 2 alpes, superpark.ch to name but a few, but frankly the brecks, mammoths and whistlers are better.
if u like big mountain, hit up squaw, jackson, kicking horse or whistler. in my view although the snow in NA is way better than europe, the terrain sim ply doesn't compare in most areas. therefore, check reports and head to europe. Tignes, Val d"isere, Chamonix, Verbier, Engleberg, Zermatt etc all offer world class freeride terrain.

best all-around resorts [park, freeride, nightlife] in the alps [imo]:

Val d'isere FRANCE
Zermatt SUISSE
Portes du Soleil FRANCE/SUISSE

if you havent been to europe and your mum is paying go there, youl might not have the chance again for a while, rastafarider has hit the nail on the head europe wise.

my bets would be portes du soleil or espace killy for the all round deal

i just posted some pics of chile in pictures section, i have been to europe and colorado in the states and the snow over here is so sick because of the weather we have. we just had like a snow storm and we got like 5 feet of snow and i skied with a german guy he said that it was the best skiing of his life. if you get here on the right time, you are going to enjoy it...

Zermatt is not all round, they know shit about making parks.

Anyway, shit is getting off the chain in vorarlberg / arlberg in terms of parks and powder.... St. Anton, Lech, Diedamskopf (Sajas Forum park), Silvretta Nova, Fellhorn... www.schneestern.info  so much going on, so close to each other and the epic snow records this is definitely what's up in Europe right now.

It depends on what u like to do. Will it be pure skiing? or do you also care about the resort? Coz then def go to europe! Snow is less here than in the US tho.

but ya, best choice is always southern hemisphere so you get a second winter. nothing competes with 2 winters.
