 Poster: A snowHead

I'm in for Japan, only boarded Furano, Niseko, Moiwa and Rusutsu. My plan is to return to Rusutsu and one or two others, hopefully next season (if travel is back on the cards).

@rogg, I loved Rusutsu, would really like to have more time to explore it.
Tough with such wide ranging criteria, and the biggest thing would be a travel time/cost (e.g I could do 18 days skiing in Europe for the same as 10 days in Japan).
On balance I'd probably take Europe and if I had to limit it to an area I would likely opt for somewhere like Ski Amade because it's varied and accessible. Paradiski based in Les Coches would probably be second choice, but the transfer is an arse.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Big enough for variety, importantly "off-piste" (inbounds) wherever you want it, National Park beauty in the summer. I accept the food isn't great, though last time I'd got the impression they were sponsored by the beef farmers of Alberta... |
Rumour has it that Charlie Locke owner of Lake Louise bought his own ranch so he could get more profit out of burgers and steaks.

Courchevel. Beautiful scenery, great people (can't speak for the billionaires but I'm sure they're lovely...), good off piste if you know where to look and willing to hike; and it's on the periphery, but part of, the 3v-the largest ski resort in the world.
My happiest days were spent around the back of 1650, off Saulire and down Folyeres or through the trees to La Tania. Paradise.

Would have to be North America as I couldn't go back to resorts with no inbounds off-piste. It's simply too convenient for days I don't have partners, avalanche danger is too high, or I'm feeling too lazy to tour.
If only one resort - Whistler. Huge with plenty of variety and good slack country. Would be hard to get bored.
If one geographical area - Golden BC. Kicking horse resort has plenty of great terrain, love being able to ski 1200m vert every run, excellent slack country. Then between Rogers pass to the west and icefields parkway to the east there is enough backcountry touring to last a lifetime.
