Where is the best place to go snowboarding in USA?
So far all the answers have been from folks representing their home mtn. I mean, Snowshoe??? Give me a break! W. Virginia is white-trash, not to mention on the East Coast, which pretty much means icy conditions.

Not the most, but it’s dry, fluffy, and plentiful. Not the icy crap on the East Coast, nor the wet, slow stuff on the West Coast. I’ve been to resorts all over the continent, and nothing touches Vail except for maybe Whistler/Blackcomb, but that isn’t in the U.S.
