Man I am Sick of the ICE!

Sick of the ICE

After riding this long on the ICE COAST, I think it is time for a change. Sure we get some fresh snow, just look at the fresh stuff in the pic, but those are few and far between. After havng a good season in Mass, I am thinking it is time to make a move. I was hoping to get some feedback, pros and cons on the following areas: Mammoth, Tahoe, Breckenridge, Jackson Hole, Salt Lake City and Mt. Baker. I like to ride park and pipe but I want to move somewhere where I can ride powder. Are some of these areas more expensive? How about finding a job that lets you ride every day? If you have any good feedback it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

powder!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you'r into riding powder i'd have to say baker is a good choice.bellingham isn't that far away,also whistler is only a hop skip away,but i might have to say jackson is probably my favorite mountain,but passes prices are kind of steep. all the resorts and snow at tahoe are hard to pass up too.looks like you have some tough choices.as far as getting a night job,show up to the area you decide to move to early,because you aren't the only one who wants a night job.good luck.....

Jackson.

Im choosing Jackson. Ive never heard of anyone that didnt/doesnt like the place. If its good enough for Travis Rice I think its probably good enough for me. right? As far as passes go if you work for the resort parttime you can get a free pass and if you dont you can still get a heavily discounted pass for working at a local business. Anyway,all of your choices are good and I doubt you could be dissapointed with any of them.
