Obviously I'm not their target audience, but what's funny to me is that it's almost like a list of places I want to go to mountain bike in summer, but have no desire to go to in winter.
1. Deer Valley, UT (we usually have summer season passes there, and will go in the winter if someone gives me free tickets, but I wouldn't buy a ticket. It's nice but not my scene at all.)
2. Vail, CO (used to have a good DH course, don't know if there's still any good riding, but I have no desire to ever ski there.)
3. Whistler/Blackcomb, B.C. (MECCA for biking we have vowed to go for 2 weeks minimum every year, skiing looks good, but I'll save my $$$ for summer trips. We have friends who go for 2-3 MONTHS in summer..... seething with jealousy.)
4. Aspen, CO (skiing looks good - scene does not. We've been there in summer. I'm not particularly interested to go back.)
5. Snowmass, CO (we've been there for MTB races, I'd never go in winter.)
6. Park City, UT (I've lived here 7 years and still never skied there and don't plan to, but they have great XC mountain biking.)
7. Breckenridge, CO (might be worth a trip - mostly because we have friends there with sleds, so it would be backcountry, not resort skiing.)
8. Beaver Creek, CO (no real interest in going there - the only thing I know about it is they have great grooming. Bleh.)
9. Steamboat, CO (heard there's great dirt bike trails there - we've been meaning to go. Winter probably wouldn't be bad either.)
10. Sun Valley, Idaho (THIS - I would definitely go skiing there if the snow was good. I've heard powder days are epic with a loooonnng consistent fall lines. I have been mountain biking there and that's pretty good too.)
