There is a green trail off every single lift at WB. Including the Alpine lifts. Unless you mean you were not packing about a lift all day. When I was there, most people coming off Peak, Harmony, 7th Heaven and Glacier were hitting the cat tracks that slowly wind themselves down the hill.
I hiked a bit while there, and you could see people skiing sick lines all over, but the vast majority of humanity were grouped together on the piste.
Even on the two powder days, the average skier ability was not overly impressive. I just think it attracts way to many tourist to keep the average level high.

Action park. Didn't kill many but hurt quite a few. I loved that place. I was one of the few that actually got to do the enclosed full loop waterslide. They had some cool shit there.
My local ski group as a kid went to Vernon valley/MTN Creek and hidden valley. Left school at 3 skied to.9or 10 once a week. I had a lot of fun, but it's tiny and ice mostly. I think now they concentrate on a solid park scene. I think their park is great if you're into that. Also hear the MTN biking up there is sweet too, but never been.
Was cool as a kid. You wouldn't catch me there now if you paid me.

Saw a vote for Winterplace, WV and I’ll second it. I was seriously afraid I was going to get my legs taken out by a guy in a Canadian tuxedo. Beech Mt is a close second.
I spend a lot of time in CB, there is some serious talent up there.

137 posts and nobody has asked whether "average" means mean or median? WTF?

My bad. I've been on the road for a couple weeks. Taking people seriously happens when one spends time around sincere well-meaning people, away from the TGR all snark all the time.

So much depends on the particular day. Squaw does have a leg-up on Whistler and Jackson - if we're talking average - because it's not much of a destination for wealthy tourons. Sure, there are plenty still, but if they're in the Tahoe area generally they'll go to Northstar or Heavenly. But I'm thinking Bridger has to be right up there. And I was definitely impressed by the average skier at Alta / Snowbird. Has anyone mentioned Kirkwood? Legit terrain with some hardcore regulars, and it's a pain in the ass to get there so it keeps people away. Before the Vail acquisition I would have listed it, but now not so much I suppose.

I saw a couple total beginners taking beater falls on green runs at Bridger today and it stood out as we don't see that much, except over the holidays - maybe. So yes, some local hill like Bridger probably has the best "average" skier just because we don't get the beginner tourists to bring down the average.
And the locals rip. The average pass holder is damn good. But Jackson or Sqaw no doubt have a higher average local just because of size and terrain and the number of ski bums. Skiing at Bridger is more a part of people's lives as opposed to moving here just to ski.

Posting in this thread with any sort of actual content is like being part of the Special Olympics. Nothing wrong with that btw, just saying.

Every area has its jerrys. Back in the day riding up Collins at Alta, back when it ended halfway and you skied down to Germania lift to get to the top--powder day, we're on an early chair, and near the top of the lift I hear mad whooping, just like in a Warren Miller film. I wonder who could have up high that soon to be making that noise. I look down to see two guys--in cowboy hats of course--snowplowing on the flat under the lift doing all the whooping. But hey, they were having fun, so who's to judge?

Some people take themselves way too seriously. Maybe we can all learn from the fun loving no shit giving "Jerry's"? Or not? Whatever.

No, no!
Skiing is serious business. Otherwise what would all those life sacrifices that we’ve made in order to be badass skiers amount to?
If you don’t have someone to look down upon, then what is your worth?
