For me it’s Points North Heli In the Alaskan Chugatch no doubt. Japan seems pretty dope too though.

Honestly - Soshi, Russia on a good year. That place looks so legit. Kinda like a bigger Bridger Bowl.

The novelty of making out to Afriski, Tiffindell, or Oukaïmeden for skiing in Africa would be so cool

I skied Telluride in the morning then caught a helicopter run at Silverton that afternoon. Maybe not the dream trip but damn near the dream day.

One big ol' Roadtrip, starting in Banff and ending up in Taos:

Lake Louise -> Kicking Horse -> Rogers Pass BC -> Revelstoke -> Micah Heli -> Retallack Catskiing -> Whitewater -> Red -> Schweitzer -> Bridger Bowl -> Big Sky -> Cooke city (sledding and BC) -> Targhee -> Teton Pass BC -> Jackson -> Powder Mountain -> Woodward PC -> Alta/Bird/Wasatch BC -> Steamboat -> A-basin -> Copper -> Aspen -> Crested Butte -> Telluride -> Silverton -> Wolf Creek -> Taos

Maybe like 3 days at each stop, with 1 day off for travel? It'd be insane. 29 Stops x 4 days is 116 Days, so if you start December 1st in Banff you'd hit Taos in late March.

Not a flex - but OP, yeah, you gotta get out to Japan. Niseko was next level amazing and so was the hospitality of the people there. By far the most amazing experience I've ever had.

One trip I want to do is to go Cat skiing somewhere along the powder highway in Canada.

My MTB dream trip is to go ride Whistler, North Shore and Pemberton for a week or 2.

I lived in an RV and skiied Revelstoke one season, skiied park all summer at Perisher in Aus, and did a season in Niseko.

Ski bum days are behind me, but I would have liked to ski more summers like in Aus and South America, and wish I did a season in Europe when my UK passport was good for EU.

Dream trips are probably Gulmarg in India, skiing in Kabylie where my dads from, and obviously heli in Alaska.

Not that its an issue, but it would make more sense to go Bridger to Cooke to Big Sky due to road closures in the winter.

I've never been to Cooke City myself either, I'm just a big nerd and know these things.

Crazy thing about the trip is that it is actually within the realm of doable considering the multi resort passes these days. Sled skiing in Cooke City would need a bigger window and Mica would be the same cost as the rest of the trip combined. Hahaha

my dream trip would be to go to some tiny not well known resort in Japan that somehow has a high speed quad. It dumps pow all day and overnight and I ski untouched pow with the friends all day and then eat sushi at night.
