WHERES MAMMOTH it should be number 1 and its not even in the top ten. Having been to kirkwood and jay peak, mammoth blows them both out of the water. Its like apples and oranges

You completely forgot to mention Jackson Hole, Wyoming. ANd if you haven’t been there, go, and it will make the list next time.

Chris, great list. I have four down, and one more planned for this year. Always like to have a goal to help motivate me to get around. The list fits my criteria for a low key, fun resorts that are not crawling with people. Not sure if I can drag myself all the way back to Vermont though. I am pretty spoiled by western powder and sunny days. I started skiing in the midwest at Ironwood and Mt. Ripley. These two are definitely not going to make any top 10 lists.

Skied the East and (Canadian) Rockies: Just can't afford the trip to Sunshine or SunPeaks every year, like the old days. But Jay: What a hoot! We bring our own fun and leave everything else on the hill. Always the same routine, though: 1 day of crappy wind-blown and two days of phenomenal powder. Dress warm, plan for the endless glades (always thigh-deep powder) and stay on the mountain: super cheap, compared to the rest of the East. Bonus: the roads are so bad that on the great powder days people avoid the drive and you get even more of the mountain to yourself. And believe the snowfall numbers: Last year it said two feet and I think they underestimated. After one wipe-out on a steep slope I planted my pole and it disappeared. This wasn't some drift, either.

Are you suggesting that Whistler lacks consistent good snow and quality terrain? I agree that WB is gross when it's raining, as are all other mountains. However, it rarely rains above mid-station and in the many, many times i've been to Whistler I have never had a problem with crappy snow. As for quality of terrain…well if your doubting it then your delusional.

As a lifetime Whistler skier I could not agree more

Who the fuck says Alberta is Canada's gnarliest terrain? It's BC Ma'Fucka. Read this list and then compare it with resorts from any other state/province. It's no contest: Kicking Horse Whistler/Blackcomb Big White Silverstar Red Mt. Washington Panorama White Water I'm spacing on other resorts, but you get the idea. Also please do not compare some shitty hill (emphasis on hill) in Michigan to the fucking Rockies. Just don't
