Seriously though, just cause it's steep doesn't make it hard.

Is this (generally) true?

Don't pay much attention to the ratings from area to area but anything steep or mellow is better with Better Snow on it and that's what the west has. For example Starr with a hard surface is harder to ski then a lot of double diamonds out west, but not nearly as enjoyable.

Starr with a soft surface is harder than most double diamonds out West because it's so narrow. You get one or two chances to turn, and that's it. Out West, everything is so wide open, there's a million different lines. Don't think you can quite make that turn? No problem, just wait and turn in 10 feet, or 50 feet. Turn whenever you're comfortable.
Well, not ALL terrain out west falls into that category. I can think of several areas at Alta, Snowbird, and hell, even Deer Valley that are relatively narrow because of trees and/or cliffs, chutes, rock, etc.

Well yeah, of course generalizations don't apply to every situation.

This was taken in West Baldy at Snowbird, so I know it can get tight.
My first time out West (A-Basin), I didn't look at a trail mail, just went down what looked good. Looked at the map at the end of the day and realized my first few runs was down Pallavinci and North Glade with EX signs all over the map.
