Skiers/Boarders...

If you could ski/board one place on earth (but couldn't leave for the whole season) with no worry about money, where would it be?

That is that old lift on the eastern end/top of Government Camp? Snow Bunny? Razz Razz

I've only skied from Colorado west so I have lots of places to hit, but have hit many.

But if $ was no object, I'd probably want to hit some place that had wonderful food, skiing, and other distractions. Japan, maybe Patagonia, or some place in Europe. Second thought if $ was no object then some place where I could go Heli skiing most days. Yep, Heli skiing would be it.

I agree and think heli is the way to go.

I heard Niseko, Japan gets 1000 inches a winter and it's an odd day when it doesn't snow. The snow stays so deep and constantly fluffy that it is like heli skiing but at only 75 a day.

Japan is high on the wish list for sure but in a good snow year with unlimited funds, this sounds pretty nice:

So many factors but...

Les Trios Vallees and/or Val D'Isere en France or Verbier in Switzerland are some of my favorites.

Of course Chamonix is legendary for a reason. Generally I find the overall experience in France more positive than central Europe.

If money is no object - why limit it to one place?

My favorite is always the one with the foot of new snow.

In the US = Silverton Mtn

This sums it up perfectly!...
"Advanced and expert only riding, no groomers, no clearcut runs and a real mountain experience with plenty of adventure on tap."

Only 1 chairlift and 1800+ acres of "natural" terrain.

Abroad =
Portillo, Chile
Andermatt, Switzerland
Chamonix, France
Kurodake, Japan
