so I am looking for my february destination, I am mainly going for some nice pow riding, nice cliffs, some trees and definately some park, I have discount to big sky and brighton, but I have chose a few, give me some feedback

Brighton, Big Sky (if they have a park), Snowbird (I have snowboarding friends), Park City Trifecta, Breck A-basin, Vail, And some Sierra Nevada resorts, whistler is out of the question because it will be the olympics and tourists will kill the vibes

either tahoe area (squaw valley, alpine meadows) or snowbird. brighton isn't  all that cool in my opinion.

From those resorts you mention I've been riding at Brighton, Snowbird, Park City, Breckenridge, Keystone, A-basin and Vail.

I would ride Alta/Snowbird during the day, and then Brighton at night (its easy to ride for free there). And then take a couple of days to ride the park in Park City, depending on the snow and the weather.

I'm not a huge fan of Vail or A-basin. Breckenridge and Keystone have very cool parks. But Snowbird is the best from all those resorts.

"tourists will kill the vibe"

I'm assuming you are a local, but you're planning a February trip, no?

Ski pow at brighton with discount/free tickets, pay for a pow day at alta/bird and then ski some park at PC. I did a very similar trip my last year of highschool to utah, so fun. Plus, if you're not paying to ski brightons park its worth it.

Mammoth FTW!  Do Mammoth, it is a huge ass mountain and there is so much exploring to do.  Hit up Mammoth on a weekday and nearby June on weekends for a sick fucking park and no crowds.
