Thinking of going somewhere for mardi gras week.
I've been to Breckenridge, North Carolina, and Gatlingburg.
What are you guys favorite spots to go to? we were thinking maybe Lake Tahoe.

Heavenly is very nice.

Nothing beats Tahoe in my opinion. Got to Squaw Valley in the North Shore. It joined with Alpine Meadows recently so its just freaking huge.

Skiing in the Appalachian's is a waste of money. Go west young man. Vail is one of the best resorts in Colorado. Never skied Tahoe but I hear it's awesome. Might want to check snow levels due to the drought out there. I've heard great things about the Utah resorts as well. I'm going to Keystone in 12 days for a few days on the mountain.

Definitely Steamboat!!! Mountain is set up nice, the base has a lot of options for food and drinks. Not too crowded because it's the farthest resort from Denver so they're are not a lot of day skiiers. And there's a reason the snow is called champagne powder...it is light and fluffy!!

Boone, NC is absolutely beautiful and it's real close to Appalachian St's campus

I have heard that the Swiss Alps are nice.

Red River, NM is pretty fun for Mardi Gras. Small town and mountain, but its packed with LSU fans and people from Louisiana.

I've been to Tahoe/Heavenly and it is great. Had a lot of fun their.
The casinos nearby is a big plus.
I'm going to Breckenridge at the end of the month. Any advice there would be great.

Only option is in the Rockies in my opinion, been in the Appalachians, Upper Michigan, NE, they all don't compare

Colorado>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> North Carolina>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tennessee.
Breckenridge is great for beginners because it has that big slow chairlift. Getting on and off the skilift and stopping are the hardest think for new skiers to do.

Skied: Japan
Crested Butte (2)
Aspen
Lake Tahoe
Learned in Japan while in the A.F. Snow was wet and icey. Crested was nice both times, not very crowded and a quaint little town. Aspen was cool, but crowded as hell. It was during Mardi Gras and the whole mountain seemed like everyone was from Louisiana. Tahoe was awesome, the snow isn't quite like Colorado, but doable. And the gambling and night life beat the aforementioned. We stayed at Harveys which was bought right after we left by Harrahs. They had buses everymorning for most of the resorts around the lake for cheap.

My favorite is Steamboat...I am not I to the glitz and glamour/movie star scene and just really enjoy the small ranch town feel of steamboat. The place is very nice and just has a very cool western vibe going on. Also, best snow I have ever experienced and also has snow mobile tours in the back country, etc...

I've had below average experiences in Tahoe both times I've been
If I remember correctly they haven't been getting much snow the last couple years either
