Quiet Bruno. Nobody wants to go to the BCC resorts. :wink: Much easier drive up LCC, everyone go there. BTW its Wolf Mountain in Utah. Great view of it from the top of Pow Mow.

check out the rates for flying into Calgary, $700-$800 range, you can fly to Vancover for half that. was thinking of skiing Banff area this winter,but I will go to Oregon again and ski with my son.Use the flight savings to stay longer.

You make me sound like a snob ST. I'm not that bad, just trying to save some freshies for me. Always enjoy any of the front 4.

Interesting. I skied Corbet's once and I managed to make it down without falling. The entrance is very intimidating but if you can come your mind to just getting through the first 1 or 2 turns your home free. I have found lots of in bound stuff out west that scared me a lot more than Corbet's. Steep chutes that have sharp rocks protruding from the snow is what scares me. I took a spill at KH that caused me to slide out of control for 30 seconds. The whole time I was just waiting for the moment I hit a massive rock or went over a cliff (all caught on my helmet cam too!). I've never had that experience in East coast inbound terrain (and hope I never do).

Didn't mean it that way. I understand and feel that way about my favorite spots as well.

When I think of Aspen at this point I think of it as all 4 mountains (though in my two trips Ive never done buttermilk) not really one or the other. Its interesting to me that Aspen/Snowmass/Highlands all get ranked individually within the top 30.

Do they sell individual lift tickets? That's the only reason I could think of as to way they're seperate.

Look, Sierra Cement exists, but you can't really contend that it is any worse than a freeze thaw or even a typical scraped off Saturday afternoon in the East?
JH is #1 and you say that? Worst publication? Have you never opened a Boston Herald? We got a free subscription to Wine Spectator once, far worse than Ski. Also: http://www.wallpaper.com/

I contend that East Coast hardpack is much worse than Sierra Cement or Cascade Concrete. Also, the cookies at Beaver Creek are overrated.
