What ski area has the best powder?

It is worth noting that the best of Alta's terrain is geared towards Advanced and Expert skiers. That is not to say that there are not good slopes for Beginner and Intermediate skiers, but merely that Alta's forte does not lie primarily in these areas. The Expert skier will be hard-pressed to find better resort skiing in North America outside of Alta, whereas the Beginner may find better-suited slopes and varied Beginner terrain at other locales. Regardless of this, Alta boasts a top-rate ski instruction program, which has its roots in Engen's pioneering work in deep-powder skiing and instruction. Skiers of all abilities enjoy Alta's unique charm, which harkens back to the golden days of skiing, an era gone past.
