So in 4 weeks my rents are taking me out west to go skiing and told me i could pick wherever i wanted to go for 4 days


I have looked into snowbird, park city, and was thinking about whistler

I am much more of a powder guy then a park guy if that helps you help me make a decision

Post other places you recommend me go to.

thanks for help NS

Also i actively go to vail and love that sort of mountain so something like that would be cool

Since your looking at whistler im assuming you dont mind going to bc? Check out kickinghorse/revelstoke. Lots of powder there. Red mountain/ whitewater are two other really fun hills with lots of snow.

whistler is SUPER unpredictable.

vail though..the conditions here right now are fucking awesome. something like 50+ inches in the past week. 13 inches last tuesday, 16 last thursday and 13 yesterday with smaller amounts each night every other night.

Ive skied vail the past 3 years now and its pretty gnarly just be aware of the 103 dollar lift ticket if your going for 7+ days its better to get the epic pass because its a better deal and if u wanted to you could go to like heavenly A basin beaver creek and a couple other mountains. If you want to ski powder/cliffs dont waiste time on the front side unless you wanna go huge on the chair 4 cliffs. Just hit up blue sky/back bowls and its sick.

You have to. It's like a muslims pilgrimage to Mecca.....

If your not feeling that, I'd definitely say Whistler, or someplace out of North America if you want to get really crazy.

If you have the luxury wait until the week before you leave to buy tickets then go to where the forecast is good.  But as long as its not raining you can't really beat whistler for terrain.  Summit county, Tahoe or Utah are good if you want to sample lots of different resorts.

whistler definitely. you'll have an amazing ski experience if you go out there. if you go somewhere like park city you'll be able to ski a dope park but you might get kinda bored.
