Mckonkeys Trees on Whistler mountain...not on the trail maps. Lots of drops, pillows, mossy, old growth trees spaced perfectly. Probly a couple thousand feet of unbroken trees depanding on the line you take. Epic every time. Million Dollar Ridge and Kybers pass would be the runner ups. Also not on the trail maps.

Here's a couple videos from Million Dollar Ridge and another area called Cupcake/Cakehole. There's some BC wheeling videos on my youtube page to if your interested.

Gotta love Tahoe. Great small resort is Homewood, Squaw is awesome if you like huge open runs, Alpine Meadows can't be beat for back country. And the best thing about these places: free for military!!! I love riding for free!

Deer Valley, Utah. No snow boards.

In terms of terrain, Vail is hard to beat because of the size.

Semi in order.. Squaw, kirkwood, Jackson hole, alpine meadows, a basin, wolf creek, steamboat, Loveland, mammoth

Least favorite- northstar. Aka flatstar.

Just my opinions of the places I have been. Still need to venture utah, Idaho, Montana.

Anywhere you go you can have an amazing time.

Squaw destroys vail in terms of terrain. Grew up skiing keystone abasin vail. Moved to Tahoe for the extreme factor haha. In ~10yrs alpine and squaw will join and it will be glorious.
