so far i have recieved a good response, but let me clarify. I actually am a snowboarder, so if this changes anything, please let me know. Also, how bout the best resort in North America? I am planning a trip to Whistler in April and thought this was the "best" place to ski/snowboard. They have a record 31 ft of snow since Nov. 1 this year! Amazing!

It depends on the type of skiing you want to do and your level of expertise. Telluride, Co. is an excellent expert area but does have good intermediate & beginner terrain. Alta, Utah is awesome and Snobird is pretty good too. Aspen has a good mountain but it's to snooty for me. Breckenridge is very good. It has tons of intermediate slopes and the back bowls are awesome. I'm not real fond of West Coast areas as their snow tends to be heavier and wetter than the Rockies though they too have great terrain. The East Coast has some good ones and you will learn how to use your edges because it's often very icey.

Well, if your talking about the WHOLE resort experience then it's Aspen. Aspen is great all around. Instead of a village it has a town, there are four mountians to choose from for all different levels (Ajax, Snowmass, Buttermilk and Aspen Highlands), and there is always something going on and something to do.
If you're talking just about the riding/skiing, then pick somewhere else because Aspen is too much of a tourist location. Vail in Colorado, Snowbird in Utah, Jackson Hole in Wyoming and Squaw Valley in California are great.

Willie D is familiar with what he's conversing approximately. Killington is extraordinarily a lot king of the east. better of all worlds. Jay can get extensive dumps whilst everywhere else is getting no longer something or rain. There are some classic New England ski components no longer reported: Wildcat (NH), Magic (VT) yet they are not trip spot hotels and Magic is in basic terms open weekends i think of. a good plus approximately Whiteface is the city of Lake Placid website of the 1932 and 1980 wintry climate Olympics and nonetheless a wintry climate olympics training facility. a lot of stuff to do. i prefer to propose you leave your powder skis at homestead and make specific regardless of boards you do deliver are freshly tuned. you're in all probability gonna choose an side. which you ought to to contemplate taking your trip later in the season too. extra snow, extra appropriate gentle. regardless of you establish, i wish you have a large time!
