baffin island is definitely world class but pretty much requires at least a month. lets say the line has to be three days tops round trip from the nearest place you can buy a bottle of whiskey...

you should break it up between lift accessible, day trip accessible, and multi-day tour accessible.

corbets, cool run. but if memory serves it's a fair bit less than 1500' of vert. part of my personal definition of "best" would be that it would take more than any monkey with a lift ticket and a trail map to get there. maybe we should switch to ob coolies only...
