[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm from Italy and have only skiied in Europe, which I love because my preferred skiing day is: wake up and have delicious hotel/chalet breakfast, ski for a couple of hours, stop for coffee on the mountain, ski for an hour, stop for long lunch on the mountain - pasta, wine, etc - ski again for a couple of hours, have afternoon tea in town/back in the chalet, get back to hotel/chalet and go in hot tub/sauna/pool, then have dinner, go to some bars afterwards or have drinks with friends at chalet. 
My understanding is that American skiing is much more serious - more skiing, less eating and drinking. Which towns, if any, out west, have what I want?[/quote]

That;s been my entire ski experience and I've only ever skied on the east coast (smaller resorts) and one time in Tahoe (which was awesome)

There is a LOT of that vibe in US skiing[/quote]

Aren’t lift tickets more reasonably priced in Europe?  If somebody is dropping a ton of money to travel and ski a few days at one of the Vail-owner resorts, it makes sense  that they’d want to get in as much time skiing as they can. [/quote]

Wouldn't know. Like I said I've only skiied at pretty low-mid level ski mountains and resorts, but maybe that's the key to the sort of casual ski experience in the USA? The only really "fancy" mountain I've skiied has been Squaw Valley, I'm not even sure if that's fancy but it was an expensive lift (esp in spring when lots was closing)[/quote]
