Best places to snowboard in North America
I'm planning on taking a year or so to do nothing but snowboard and
I'm wondering where the best places in North America to board are. I live in Colorado, so I've been everywhere here. I'm looking for someplace with a longer, more consistent season, and good back country access. British Columbia keeps coming up and I wonder what sort of issues I'll have as an American in Canada (finding work and such). Any info? |

You'll need a work visa plus keep in mind of the tax that'll eat into your pay. Check out Washington State, Utah, and Oregon. I'm going to head out to Portland sometime late this year for some boarding. -Teak |

Baker falls in love with the place. They also do a good bit of out of bounds hiking there. |

For some people the slow chairs and the lack of places to stay are big factors counting against it. It's not only the speed of the chair, it's also the steepness that counts. Of course it's best to have a steep AND fast chair (e.g. Peak at Whistler, KT-22 at Squaw, etc.). But even if the chair is regular speed but steep, it's still cool. Scott at Alpine Meadows and a marvelous Scott Chute right beneath it is a good example. Basically that chair is double diamond steep all the way, so you gain a lot of elevation in no time. Main chairs at Baker are pretty steep, but of course it'd be even better if they were faster. |
