Oh, and its amazingly cheap to ski there too. A season pass to 3 resorts+10 days at Vail is only like $275. At my hill it was $325 for shit.

Colorado is good, but don't expect that hard of terrain, if you want to ski 'real' mountains come out to the west coast, and head up to whistler-blackcomb. Hell i skied more vertical at whistler this week then i did in like a season back in colorado.

we get plenty of cold dry days here in cali, even on may 20 (snowing at 2,500 ft today, skiing about 6,000 ft higher) . . . and I'd gladly take 500 inches of sierra cement over 200 inches or colorado powder, it makes you a stronger skier and it allows us to ski terrain that is never skiable in colorado

Big willy its actually like 350....but its cool....u dont end up going to vail that much cause its so far, and if there's no good snow u might as well goto breck...keystone has some really unique rails that most places dont have, but the rest of the mtn sucks...abasin is pretty cool for steep shit...but vail is so tight

absain closed on Sunday. breck has like 15 pros who ski there, including guys who are sometimes there (morrison, schad) and the copper crew who sometimes skis there (G.T., mercon, etc.), as well as the guys that only ski breck.

Yeah, I forgot about Mammoth, it's definitely bigger for ns than breck. But seriously, Breck's pipe is so awesome, when you get big air out of it it's scary as shit, but good for practice.

350 is still sweet. As far as driving I dont really care, the nearest 'good' hill to me is about 2.5hrs, and I made that trip about 20 times this year.

How about my hills 20 inches of natural snow, now that was an awesome year(mmm....no!) Anyway, Utah has the best snow, colorado the biggest lines and Jackson Hole and Whistler the best terrain. I'll take anything over wisconsin though, even if its 40 minutes of lift lines at Vail!

Breck is the shittiest ski area in colorado, next to geekstone. Copper and vail are the places to be. Breck is soo flat it's hilarious, their pipe is ok but it way icy. and there are alot of posers that ski there.

SVHucker has a point, how late does the season last in Colorado? here in california there are spots during average years that'll keep enough snow to build good kickers on until late august. which is what i'll be doing this summer. sure the resorts aren't open until after may usually, but hey, there's a hell of a lot of reward to hiking and building your own kickers. plus there's the whole thing that california chicks are hotter. breck better watch out though december 15-22nd when it gets invaded by busloads of california college students.

shit, if i hated every skiier i meet that's from other states i'd have to hate just about everyone. let's just all generalize and stereotype skiiers from every state so we can start hating. if someone's a good skiier, no matter where they're from, respect, if they suck, who the hell cares if they're local or not? it's all about style and respect, not locale. localism creates hell for everyone, i know 'cuz i surf santa cruz, sure it's a different sport, but i've seen how localism can ruin the fun. if you wanna complain about anybody coming to your ski resort, then i suggest avoiding hypocrisy and don't ever leave 'your' resort. my work is done here

ive really never been challenged by any trail out west. i think eastern trails are much harder. buti really hate them yes they are really steep but its all ice and shti and that isnt fun. i like being in bowls with waste deep. i donno skiing in the east makes you a good skier i guess. devil's fiddle at killington was the hardest trail ive done. but steamboat, vail, breck have some nasty bowls

greely also smells like cow crap because all the farming around there. when it gets really humid the smell rises from the ground and you can smell it sometimes in boulder.

that's the first time I've heard someone complain about the lack of challenge out west. We have these things called cliffs, and cornices. We have double blacks that actually are double blacks, not borderline black. I will admit ice is no cool and that's why the east produces tons of great skiers. But no one would argue that the terrain in the east is more challenging than the terrain out west.

i agree with SVHucker for once, terrain out here is insane if you look in the right places, i know of chutes barely off piste that if you stick your hand out while standing straight you touch the snow. then there's things like heart's chute where you jump a 15 foot cliff in and a 25-50 foot cliff out, depending on snow depth. even if we don't have too much ice out here, there is definitely challenging terrain, which is probably why they held one of the world extreme championship competitions here a couple months ago. although i have to say europe has some more insane shit that is in bounds. and unmarked.

Ahhhh, lets quit the fussin' girls. were supposed to a big happy community of jibbers united against gapers and the like. we all have our bad points: west coast has heavy snow, Colorado is inconsistant and has too many tourists, eastcoast doesn't get enough snow and the midwest is just laughable. just drop it for fucks sake.
