For best, what hill do the pros go to? Jackson? CB?
The worst? Okemo on Sunday when the Orthodox Jews hit the hill. It's a cataclysm when the long black skirts take to the hill en masse. In fact I'll nominate Okemo for the rest of the week too.
IMO Hunter gets an undeserved bad rap for this. They manage to keep beginners in one spot, but when they wander off to the backside...oh, no...look out below."timberridge is terminally vapid" -- a fortune cookie in Yueyang

Best (try to keep up with the locals, good luck) to me was CB, with JH a close second.
Worst (I am definitely the best skier here today, which ain't a good thing for the average) to me is always Keystone or Vail. I have been lucky enough to never have skied further East than Eldora/Taos, thank God, so no comment on " the East" or Europe.

A lot depends on the year. There will be a ton at Squaw with 100+ days this year since the place will be open for so long. A thousand at Aspen seems pretty crazy / impressive.

I think Alta/Snowbird, Squawlpine, and Jackson are all very similar. Tons of talent everywhere... and some tourists thrown in depending on the day.
I ski 135 degree chutes switch to the road.

actually ,on a Powder day it seemed pretty chill
there was so much snow .the Gapers were stuck everywhere!!!!
….it was enough snow ,there was no grooming on top 1/2 of the entire mountain , that time;
….so you had choice of all the best terrain that day
-I loved the mellow Forest with the huge Trees! Like skiing in Middle Earth-
I hear ya though >the geeks swerving into peoples fall lines, are over the top gaper - on most days thereski paintingshttp://michael-cuozzo.fineartamerica.com" horror has a face; you must make a friend of horror...horror and moral terror.. are your friends...if not, they are enemies to be feared...the horror"....col Kurtz

I ski CB now, and while the terrain dictates that most locals are very good skiers, there really aren't as many locals as a place like Alta/Bird, and there are a lottttt of Texans bringing the average down. Skied Alta last year, and there are way more good skiers, even if there are more total skiers. I feel like most of the gapers/tourists go to the Bird (where there are also plenty of rad skiers) and bring their average down more than Alta.
As far as worst, Monarch has to be right up there. Went up there for donation day this year, and me and my buddy were finding all sorts of fresh in the trees. At the bottom we asked the liftie when it last snowed: "uhhh 4 days ago?" I say damn theres plenty of fresh left up there! And he goes: "there is?" Like bro did you ever venture 4 feet off the groomers? Every mountain including Monarch has a few rippers, but I have never been to a mountain with fewer competent skiers.

SO I have spent a ton of days at both since 1984 & agree it has its share but as average, I think Jackson or honestly......
Schweitzer Mountain
Now, I have never been there and maybe the family dynamic lowers its score on a normal day but every skier I have met from there ( Bridger close second) absolutely fucking rips. Of course many of them I met @ Snowbird or Alta, so above point is valid. I just have always been amazed that that mtn produced so many rippers
Aspen Mtn ( Ajax) def makes the top 5 list. Very few gapers ( where would they ski?) and a lot of bell to bell locals.

Maybe not the best average skiers, but the largest collection of great skiers? I’d have to pick Jackson and Squaw. The biggest collection of great snowboarders, I’m picking Bachelor.

I found the skiers at Sun Valley to be generally all pretty adept at riding lifts and carving up the groomers. That must count for something.
