Im planning a ski trip for next march and can pretty much go wherever I want in North America.
Where do you think is the best place to shred pow?

I'd go to Jackson Hole or Alta personally..
If money was not an issue at all I would definitely go to Haines, but I'd definitely need to learn a whole bunch about big mountain / backcountry skiing.

Having skied CO and UT. I would absolutely love to ski Whistler! Along with Jackson Hole. but if push came to shove i would pick Whistler. (in North America) i dont even know where to start if i could include Europe in that equation.

planning a pow trip in advance is really hit or miss so I'd recommend somewhere that also has a good park too sot hat you'll definitely have something fun to shred. As for utah the canyons would be the best for this, if you want to just hope you get good conditions you could go to snowbird but you will be an hour drive away from a decent park.

Pow is never a promise. Definitely something you just have to hope for. I would go: Jackson, Whistler, Alta, Silverton, Mammoth, Squaw. That's just a small list too.

Park City, Alta/Snowbird, Mammoth....only if you get screwed with Alta/Snowbird in terms of snow you have no park really but theres still some intense runs. i would personally probably go with Mammoth

If you're spending a week at a resort during its peak snowfall periods, you have a decent shot at pow. I'd say go with AltaBird in march...and if theres no fresh, head to park city

If I could go anywhere I'd probably go to Whistler. Biggest place I've been is Mammoth and although Mammoth is huge, it isn't really so huge that you can't even believe it. I feel like Whistler would be like that.
Plus at Mammoth they have some sketchy runs, but there isn't anything there that is like holy shit this is scary, at least inbounds.
