Here's what MSNBC says http://msnbc.msn.com/id/7090315/

Mammoth Mountain, California

Mt. Bachelor, Oregon

Lake Tahoe, California

Summit County, Colorado
-----> Copper Mountain
-------> Arapahoe Basin
-------> Loveland

Whistler/Blackcomb, British Columbia, Canada

Sunshine Village, Banff, Alberta, Canada

Snowbird, Utah <--Both times i've been there were in March-sunny with lots of nice snow.

Killington, Vermont

Tuckerman Ravine, New Hampshire

Sugarloaf, Maine

I have to say I think Snowbird is the best of the lot, but then again, I haven't been to all those places. For spring skiing, that is.

Spring Skiing = Outer Limits at Killington. There is no better place on a sunny day. The deck is great fun for a few beers while watching people bust it down the soft bumps.

I say this and I HATE Killington.

Hard to argue with Tuckerman Ravine (or Gulf of Slides). Out West, Arapahoe Basin is fantastic with the 'Beach,' East Wall, and Pali. Tahoe can be awesome in the spring with the big snow depths and beautiful lake. Alta, Utah, is up there, too... the soft snow makes those gnarly chutes and cliffs a little more appealing.
