Where would you LIKE to ski?

[ski diva]

There are oh so many places to ski in this world. And oh so many that I'd like to ski but haven't been yet. Where would YOU like to ski?

Some of the places I'd love to try:
Big Sky
Heavenly
The Canyons
Sun Valley (so historic!)
Anyplace in the Canadian Rockies
Ditto for the French Alps or Switzerland
Solitude

Actually, I'm pretty much open to just about anywhere.

Anyone else have any ideas?

And, of course, I would love to go to the southern hemisphere to ski in June, July, and August . . .

Oh ya, that long list -
But the short list - believe or not, even though I live in Canada, I've never skied Banff. Always bypass it for something else. Many places in the american west - Jackson, Taos for example.
On the 6/49 list (lottery winnings in other words!) down under for sure. I've a standing invitation at a friend's in NZ to visit.
And maybe Switzerland, I've done France. And then on this side I've yet to do Killington!!
Oh the list could get very long!!!

 

[Ski Spirit]

Another long list as we have been to Park City/Deer Valley but otherwise have stayed in CA (Heavenly,Squaw,Alpine, Kirkwood, Northstar, Sierra at Tahoe, Sugar Bowl...I guess we're lucky to have that many resorts about 4-5 hours away..)

The wish list:
Whistler/Banff
Jackson Hole
Steamboat/Vail/Aspen/Telluride/Breckinridge
Alta/Solitude/The Canyons
anywhere in France/Switzerland/Austria
anywhere in Italy
Mammoth
Big Sky

 

[NannyMin]

My wish list:

Taos
Big Sky
Jackson Hole
Anywhere in France/Italy
Down South-Chile/Argentina/New Zealand
Jay's Peak
Sun Valley

The list is so long it won't fit into this page!;)

Let me consolidate them and go by country instead (in such order):

- Switzerland (too many resorts to list)
- France (again, too many to list, Chamonix & 3 Valley top of list)
- Italy (The Dolomites, and maybe the Agosta Valley)
- Canada (Whister/Blackcomb, the Banff cluster, and one of the smaller new resort such as Fernie or Whitehorse)
- Lesser known US resort (Big Sky, Wolf Creek, Mt Bachelar etc. love ot go back to Taos, too. Been twice and absolutely LOVE it)
- Austria (St. Anton & Isch, maybe Innsbrook and some others)
- Japan (probabaly resort hop, it's a tiny country with efficient transport anyway)

- New Zealand (same as Japan -- but obviously can't be on the same trip, wrong season)
- South America

The list kind of take into account somewhat of how easy to get to and what my "expected" career/family life requirements.

(Why do I like Europe so much? Because they leave the fresh powder alone undisturbed for DAYS!!!);)

The last 3 (Japan, N.Z, S. America) may not become reality for years to come, especially the last 2 (N.Z, S.A) since I don't usually ski in summer (of whereever I'm living;) ). But I expect to hit a few resorts for the countries on the top of the list the next 2-3 years. And how fast and how frequent I get to hit them depends on how much time I devote to skiing and how actively I'm in seeking jobs in Europe/Asia/Australia!

The places I WON'T be going for week long ski trips are the "biggies" in the western US. Been there, done that, quite a few times for most of them. That's why I'm only looking at the lesser know resorts out west.

I might go for say, a long weekend to A-basin, Alta and such. But no more week long vacation in Summit county or Vail or SLC any more. I never thought I got bored skiing but I did. So I need to refresh it with new resorts with better scenary! If I have a week, I'll go over to Europe, or at least Canada!

And if I have a month? Japen/Eastern Europe (Russia!)!!!

 

[Native Vail Gal]

I would LOVE to ski in Europe! I fell in love with the Swiss Alps during the Sound of Music (cheesy....I know!)....and the Olympics. I just really want to ski there!

I'd also like to try some skiing on the East Coast. I've been to Lake Placid...but only in the Summer. Same with Stowe!

A true dream come true to me would be to ski in Banff! WOW! I would love that!

 

[Calgal]

Hey Vail Gal.....you aren't that far from Alberta. A quick jaunt on a plane and you are here ! I think a few people (including myself) would love to see a Diva meeting in the Banff area.

 

[Native Vail Gal]

Tell me when and I AM THERE!!!!!!!!

 

[ISki]

Deer Valley
Aspen
Vail
Jackson Hole
Mad River Glen
Zermatt
Chamonix
St. Moritz

 

[persee]

Soooooo many places I'd love to ski... Hell I'd love to ski almost anywhere since I'd be skiiing! However the tops on my list at the moment (which are wishes and not likely to happen in the next year)

Fernie!
Alyeska


(obviously I could go on and on with Banff, W/B, essentially anywhere in the west... but I'd be babbling for manymany lines)

 

[SnowHot]

I've skied so few places, I really couldn't list all the places I want to ski.
The first on my list would have to be..........Oh never mind, I can't possibly list all the firsts on my list that I want to experience!!!

 

[Marigee]

I'd like to ski at least once somewhere in the southern hemisphere (I'm not picky.) That way I could get my "ski fix" - and it would help tide me over until winter!

Taos is high on my list to try - as is Banff - and anyplace in Europe!

 

[Shellski]

Utah
Silverton, Colorado
Heliskiing anywhere
Val D'Isere, France
Engelberg/Titlis, Switzerland
Japan

 

[eng_ch]

Assuming time and money no object...
In Europe:
Week-trip distance:
Les Arcs
Les Deux Alpes in the proper winter
Verbier
Zermatt
Of which Les Arcs is probably the only one I'd even consider sacrificing any of our regular places for

Day-trip distance:
Davos/Klosters
Lenzerheide...
...both of which are included on our Flims/Laax season pass
St Anton in real winter
Possibly Ischgl

Over the pond:
Alta
Whistler
Heavenly? (saw some pics and it looked nice)
And the Snoworks trip to Argentine and Chile looks like a blast - def a good ambition to hold ;)

You probably want to do a road trip of the Tahoe areas (there're like 10 of them)! Yes, the views are to die for!!!

Same goes for Alta/Snowbird area too. Even without getting out of the Little Cottonwood Canyon, there're 4 resorts.

 

[joycemocha]

Well--since we've only done Timberline here in Oregon...
I'd like to do Meadows and Ski Bowl (night, of course!)
Spout Springs
Anthony Lakes
Bachelor
Steamboat
Some lesser known Colorado sites

And then...
Hubby and I were goofily chatting about Portillo next year.
Nagano
Norway...
Other European sites
