Hey guys!
I'm from Colorado and I've hit many of the resorts here, but I want to take a trip out of state to see what other mountains have to offer. Where are the best places to ride? Any advice is appreciated- Thanks!

Tahoe, Whistler/Blackcomb (largest and steepest vertical in north america), Jackson Hole (heard it was very nice, with a lot to do, but not as much as breckenridge), Big Sky (heard it was awesome too), Mt. Hood (talk to snowolf), Utah (heard snowbird and alta were a lot of fun from my friend).

I took a trip out to Jackson Hole last year, my first time at a big mountain, let alone out west, it was absolutly amazing, a little pricey but no doubt worth every penny. I went out there as a very weak intermediate rider, took one lesson on my birthday, and it improved my skill 10 fold. Undoubtedly best trip i ever took. Now were planning a trip to whistler which i also heard fantastic things about, but i also heard whistlers weather can be touchy. hope that helps you decide.

Nope.

By spending money at Snowbird (or the Salt Lake Super Pass) you support Alta in continuing this.

Alta was going to fold then they came up with the Alta/Bird pass. It saved their bacon as they were not making enough money on Alta alone and were ready to allow snowboarding or else it was close the lifts. Now with that pass and the money from the Salt Lake Super Pass they can continue to do this indefinitely.

Before you say snowboarders don't buy the Alta/Bird pass only Snowbird, keep in mind boarders effect the bottom line. The Alta/Bird pass is just icing for Snowbird. If boarders quit going to Snowbird en mass and they knew why, it would be incentive for them to quit that deal next time it comes up for renewal. Same thing with the Super Pass. I just don't see that happening is all. So Alta for the time being will remain skiing only.

lets start a revolution... like an all snowboard mountain, and little pussy skiiers can go F them selves in their A
