Vertical, pitch, terrain or snowfall?

I guess terrain .. but I think of pitch and vertical as part of terrain. I put terrain over snowfall assuming there is enough natural snow to ski the type of terrain I like.

If we're talking about getting "Snowfall", every day, then I'd certainly pick it, if not...I vote for terrain, as it doesn't matter how steep or long it is, if it's wide, flat and groomed, it gets boring quickly.

How about in an order:

1) Abundant natural snowfall

2) Interesting terrain (e.g. New England style trails, glades, etc.)

3) Lots of vertical

4) Steep overall pitch (Least of may favorite)

we take what the mtn gives so ultimately it comes down to snow. if the snow is good then i look for the terrain-trees and bumps.

You cant make terrain or vert so I would have to go with that.

give it another ten years or so and it wont matter if it ever snows. The snow tribes will make our storms for us

You forgot one,lack of crowds first.I'll bite though.Terrain has to be first.A three foot dump does no good if it's on a bunny slope hill.You can't even make turns for crying out loud.I'll take bullet proof terrain over fluffy flats anyday.
