Trust me, if you're there for a week, yeah, you get to have a bunch of fun riding all the rides, but after a month, it is like a black hole of fake touristy culture. It's not even a ski town, it's like a bad TV drama's idea of a ski town.
You could pay me to live in Whistler. But I'd spend most of my downtime somewhere else.
You're probably right, but Vail still absolutely sucks. I suspect it just managed to cement itself as "rich people's ski town" a long time ago and has been riding that since.

While not hundreds of days I have dozens. Both when producing "in the scene", and in my more mature years. Conversely I have hundreds in Banff. Lifelong friends fostered in both towns. Firmly believe it's what you choose to see, and then dwell upon. Sorry you're so jaded.
Saying it's not one of, if not the leading snow destination in NA is utter nonse.
And that's what the original post was about.
If I'm a billionaire? Skip the resorts and head to Chatter, or Wiegeles. Or I don't change much and sled Brohm or Boulder or Quartz.
