I vote for BC! Sometimes we have good conditions here, but being on the coast can make for heavy snow.

Thanks for the comment, Alan. You're not the only one to "vote" for BC! Whistler/Blackcomb rank in the top ten in the WORLD for great skiing, and is often number one for all-around greatnes Powder and luxury accomodations can't hurt, plus Whistler has the biggest vertical drop in North America.

Hi Jennifer -

As someone who lives near Aspen, I wanted you to know there are plenty of us in the area who could care less if Jack Nicholson was seen on the lift, or where Mariah Carey spent New Year's Eve...

I'm all about Aspen's scenic beauty, its awesome climate, can't-be-beat FOUR area ski mountains (for all levels), and its engaging history -- unlike most ski resort towns, Aspen was a thriving community WELL before the ski lifts were put on the mountain.

Anyhoo, just wanted to give a thumbs' up to Aspen as a fabbo ski resort. Yes, the celebs do seem to come out in force between Xmas and New Year's, but there is so much more to the town than the paparazzi stalkers. Plus, there are plenty of non-luxury ways to enjoy Aspen. Places to eat and stay, things to do, that won't break the bank. Hmmm. That sounds like an article! :-)

You know what, Kara - I'm sure you're right. Aspen is big enough to handle all types of skiers and snow sport enthusiasts.
I, unfortunately, can only travel around my kids' school schedule right now, so I am at the disadvantage of seeing places during their peak tourist season. Thank you for reminding me about the rest of the year and the rest of Aspen!
