So trying to plan this years out west girls trip for my friends and I, but struggling with where we should go. Would prefer it was out west some where, with a decent park set up, and really fun atmosphere. Last year we went to breck and keystone so would like to go some where different. Would love to go to jackson hole but its looking pretty pricey and Im not sure everyone would be on board for the cost. Even if its not projected to have the best snow year it will beat our 300' vertical drop here in south east indiana! suggestions are much appreciated. WINTER IS ALMOST HERE THE HYPE IS REAL

Montana is cool, Big Sky just revamped their entire park system. Should an sweet year. Tahoe is another awesome option. Northstar doesn't have steep, but their park is unreal, and Alpine is real close.
Mammoth is pretty sick as well.

Saw you were considering Brighton, which typically has a pretty fun park and is one of the more affordable resorts in Utah. Brighton has a really fun vibe. They usually have a jump line, two or three jumps depending on time of the year and snow and lots of rails. Also some pretty fun terrain out of the park too! A smaller resort comparatively to everything else around, but usually a really good time.

If you're looking to only ski park I'd recommend Park City, but I think day passes there are quite a bit more pricey.

If you're not concerned about skiing park and want to ski other stuff, Snowbird and Alta are soooo fun.

Let me know if you have questions about Utah!

JACKSONNNN! Stay at the hostel or rent a small cabin in town (cowboy village is sick). Pretty sure you can get a college 6-day pass for really cheap too

Thanks for all the feedback so far guys! I cant wait to eventually visit as many of these places as possible they all sound so great. I think so far it looks like Brighton might be the winner... So if anyone is in or around there in early february hit me up!

Keystone is super fun! You guys will definitely have a good time. Tons of NS'ers there too! Good parks for all skiers and really good terrain! At least good compared to your home hill. Not sure how it compares to like Vail or Breck and all that. But you will defintiely like it!!

I really liked Breck, so if you can get a day in there you totally should(: There's free public transportation to get you there if needed!

SOOOOOOOO ended up getting a season pass to keystone and a-bay. Plane tickets are ridiculously cheap in January... Any one want to shred with me jan 12-14th?? Looks like itll most likely be a solo mission but I will most likely have a place to stay for free! Just need some people to hang with on the slopes... or Ill just shred alone...
