Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Check out Squaw Valley USA - www.squaw.com
or anything in the Lake Tahoe area!

Mammoth Mountain is also a great resort.

Hartley, welcome to snowHeads! snowHead

There are so many excellent resorts, most of which have exceptional terrain that will accommodate your requirements. What did you think of the various Canadian resorts that you visited? What are you looking for in a resort? My experience is limited to Vermont, NY, NH, Lake Tahoe, ID, UT, and CO. Happy to help if you can give me a little bit more of what you are seeking.

Hartley, Breckenridge in Colorado has been very successful in attracting repeat business from UK skiers and it certainly has a lot to offer someone at your standard, including unusually good 'apres appeal' for a US resort.

Vail, not far away, has been repeatedly voted top US resort by US skiers, and is an impressive place (originally modelled on an Alpine village). Combined with Beaver Creek, just down the road, there's a lot of skiing.

If you want to try the eastern US, I was most impressed with Stowe in Vermont.

Another option to look at is to go to Salt Lake City and have some fun exploring the resorts above it, which include Snowbird, Alta, Park City etc.

The snow in the western US is generally rated better than the eastern US, though spring skiing in Vermont (which is what I experienced) is nice (with much less harsh weather than in deep winter).

Welcome to snowHeads, BTW!

Canadian is excellent, Nakiska, Kicking Horse and Norquay are exceptional. Banff is a great place to experience North America, however travelling to resorts (Kicking Horse, Panorama) can be rough should you choose the bus. I will definitely return. I want a resort with a variety of terrains. I am an advanced skier looking to improve my mogul field technique. I like long cruising forest runs and steep blacks to gets the blood pumping. I don't mind travelling to other resorts if the travel time is under 3 hours. Razz

Hartley,

Sounds like Salt Lake City would be a good base: You've got a massive variety and all within easy driving distance. Park City, Deer Valley, Canyons, Solitude, Brighton, Snowbird, Alta.

Between them they've got it all.
