Default What's your favorite ski/snowboard resort?

I got to say Whistler/Blackcomb. The trails are pretty long and there are a plethora of trails.
The only bad thing is it closes at 3:00pm.

I'm going to Heavenly in early April, so i'm going to cross my fingers for alot of snow. Anyone know if there's night skiing at Heavenly?

Going to hit Whistler again in December. (hopefully)

I live in Vancouver, and I love Whistler/Blackcomb. Cypress ain't too shabby either.

Whistler is fantastic. Coming from the US (meaning taking advantage of the exchange rate), it's a real bargain as well.

I also really like Vail. I've had some of the best times ever in the back bowls after and during storms. Of course, Vail ain't cheap but then what is?

Whistler rocks! I was just there over the new year and it was great and yes the lifts do close at 3:00. I've been to a ton of places and Whistler is definitely one of the best.

I forgot what the name of the place is called, but it's the restaurant is in Whistler Village. I got the steak and lobster and it was great. Just ask around there. That's how we found out about the place.

Yes the lifts do close at 3:00pm b/c it gets dark there early...
