Where would be your ultimate place to do a season? Like the best combination of skiing, nightlife and people, across all continents...

Have a gap in my uni schedule next year so figured that's the best way to spend it

I'd assume Whistler or jackson would be awesome. Altabird is amazing as well, but people who've skied both here and at Jackson tend to have said Jackson but fuck em. Maybe squaw valley too?

I like Mammoth; lots of terrain, A+ parks, long seasons, and Eastern Sierra backcountry is unbeatable. That said, nightlife sort of blows unless you’re down for Latin night at the bowling alley which can get old if you don’t like banda and reggaton.

Depends how’s much money you want to spend. Probably going to like Chamonix or St Anton. As far as US goes Altabird is epic and what I did, but night life in SLC is lame, and living in the valley just doesn’t feel right for a ski bum.

Definitely St Anton in Austria - got sick nightlife and lots of other seasonnaires there too plus insanely good skiing esp backcountry if that's up your street

Honestly checking out some of the smaller resorts in BC (ie not Whistler or Big 3) like Revelstoke, Red Mountain and Whitewater. I almost went from Aus to BC to ski this season, but couldn't afford it. Going to go over for a week or two in Jan/Feb though!
