Here is just some of my favorite ski resorts. I"ve been fortunate to ski at a bunch throughout of North America. Now I haven"t been serveral major staples such as Jackson Hole or Squaw but don"t worry they are high on my list. Now as many shredders know, conditions can make or break a resort. You could go to a average resort with amazing conditions have a better time then terrible conditions at a top resort. With these favorites I have either experienced them on normal or amazing conditions but I definitely have been to some resorts where I"m like if the conditions were good, they would be dope.

Some of my favorite resorts, no particular order:

Vail, Co

Place is massive and all of that acrage is skiable terrain, plus you can"t beat the back bowls. On powder day, I don"t know of another resort that can compare with quality and quantity of powder terrain (as long as it"s not a weekend). Definitely one of my favorites.

Whistler, BC

Place is amazing, so many different types of terrain and views are spectacular. Only achilles hill is conditions, could be absolutely epic or you have to keep to higher elevations of the mountains. Good news though is that the Northwest is always bringing that preciptation in so you don"t have to wait long to get amazing days. I will say my favorite apres though for sure. Best party town with many, many hangovers there.

Big Sky, Montana

Place is gnarly. Definitely have skied some of my most intense lines there but overall amazing terrain.

Revelstoke, BC

Went there for my first time a couple years ago and place is amazing. The vert and terrain is huge. Plus it"s right in that sweet spot for snow along the powder highway. Town is great too.

Mount Bachelor, Oregon

First time skiing it this past winter and was stoked after my first day. The mountain is just a fun mountain period. The tree runs, the rolling terrain, being able to ski from the top of the volcano which ever way you want, it really has a lot to offer.
