Loads of areas on my to do resorts list...but would also love to ski the seven continents.
Antarctica would have to be done by ski touring - but Europe, N America, S America & Australia chalked off so far  .

All of them 
Whistler for me as my brother raved about it, but until I'm a better skier then possibly isn't worth it...also I can probably do 2 European jaunts for the same money.

Zermatt, been for a day would like to go for longer and explore properly.
The various Gasteins, on my Ski Amadé lift pass but haven't ventured that far yet.
Anywhere else on the Salzburg Super pass that I haven't explored yet.
Italian Dolomites, again been for a day to Madonna di Campiglio, would love to explore more of the area.

So many! Basically everywhere outside of Europe as it is so much more expensive and harder to get to - Colorado, Utah, Canada. I'm planning Hokkaido in 2017 so that will tick a big one of the list. Within Europe then Zermatt, Laax and I need to try the 3V at some point.

What's with Alaska? So many wants to go there. What's the appeal?
Me? Japan, for the powder (which I understand I need to have luck on my side)

Less luck needed than just about everywhere else, although no such think as a snow guarantee anywhere.

Cham, 'cos I feel I ought to.
Scotland because it intrigues me?
And USA because the skiing is meant to be very good and because I bet the Americans "present" it so well.

Hokkaido and Engelberg. Will try to ski in Engelberg at least a day this season - but this is what I thought last season too…

Before I stopped skiing in the 90's the dream for me was to ski some of the peaks close to Everest base camp ( can we count EBC as a resort ).
Plenty of resorts around the world I would like to visit even now but they all pale in comparison to that trip.

Nope other half then kids happened instead.
I will never get to the fitness levels I had then so this is impossible for me now.
Hope you get to do it as it will be the trip of a lifetime plus some.

There's a few places in America that I would like to try but appear a bit out of reach at the moment.
In Europe The dolomites is a long held ambition which looks like being realised in January.
St Moritz is another place that I have always been keen on trying if the wallet can take it.

Whistler, which considering I live a 90 minute drive away is pretty ridiculous really.

That is ridiculous! A few years back after a business trip I drove up to Whistler from just south of Seattle for 3 days on the mountain. What an amazing place.
For me it's Verbier, and Schladming when they do the night race.
