[quote=Anonymous]We've skied all over the U.S. and we like Breck and Staamboat a lot as far as towns go.  We liked Park City a lot before the Olympics but now it feels like it is trying to be Aspen.  Jackson Hole is great skiing and the town of Jackson is great but the two are pretty far apart if you don't have a car and are relying on the bus system.  Our favorites for skiing are Alta/Snowbird but there is no town up there, just the resort.  I liked Whistler too but it is more like Vail, in that there really sin't a town.  Tahoe has great skiing but the resorts are slef-contained.  Heavenly has a town but it isn't great.

We've only skied Val d'Isere in Europe, which was amazing.  It was much cheaper and the French know how to do a resort. The restaurants were amazing all over the mountain and the vibe was so relaxed.  However, the actual skiing is better in the U.S..  There is no dropping into  the trees or into a large bowl in Europe, plus avalanches are much more of a danger there.  Yes, they happen here too but much less often.
