I agree Revelstoke is somewhat overrated, you can't deny there's a lot of fucking around (out AND back) for relatively short stints of vert (unless Kill the Banker goes), the cliffs and many sidehits do make it enjoyable however.
Kicking Horse, not overrated. Why you hating, because you need to go to the bottom every lap? There's something wrong with you if you don't like fast and empty Wiley Coyote groomer laps with it's many poppy knolls and one big knoll to finish.
XXXer's only hating on Whistler/Blackcomb because he was stuck lower down on rainy Creekside during what was an EPIC 2 weeks of pow and no crowds up high during the 2010 Olympics.
Castle Mtn, now THAT'S overrated around here. I do enjoy the banter back and forth between us haters (Waxman, Teamdirt, myself)...and everyone else.

Oh man, I’m of the opinion the ski owl is the best hill in Oregon. If only it was a little higher.

So you didn't really ski the whole place and the vibe was during the Olympics?
Just curious.. I completely understand how the place might not be to someone's taste, too busy, too resorty, too many tourists, it rained a bit when I was there etc.
Rogers pass

it eventualy did quit snowing and we got some days on the hill
I also worked the 08 WC where I was a steward so I got more skiing in, my last day after being rear ended in the morning on a cat track up high , i was disillusioned with the whole mega resort thing so i left at 2 or 3 in the afternoon, I gave my lift ticket to a drunk in the parking garage on creekside ...nice eh
Rogers pass is between Revy and KH so I think of it as a ski area
maybe a matter of perception
Up here we have the Hankin Evelyn BC ski area
an area with no staff no chairs no lift ticket no crowdsLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

Any hill in the midwest that has "mount" or "mountain" in their name.

I love all my grumpy old men here, but come on- complaining about skiing??? ...it's like pizza and making whoopy
I hope to one day ski all of these underrated ski areas. I like seeing what they are like in real life so it's never really disappointing -even vail! I thought to myself- yep I see why all the wealthy w/e warrior desk jockey's like this place lol
but all kidding aside I've learned a lot from this thread. Where not to go when visiting a ski area is just as valuableskid luxury

And now they do t want to support racing anymore. Trying to spin the UZoP expansion as “better”
