John K: “Working in the ski industry for many years the best skiers I knew were from the east coast. They’d make turns off rocks and trees and dirt and stuff and still be able to handle deep powder. So east coast skiers. Boarders, west coast for sure.”
Bryan E: “I have heard a lot of people from a lot of different home mountains say, “If you can ski here, you can ski anywhere.”. Go ski Alyeska Resort. I grew up skiing in Utah. I learned how to ski at Alyeska Resort.”
Andrew H: “Anyone from Quebec that now lives in Whistler.”
Nicholas D: “The best skiers, IMO, usually grow up racing on the east coast, go to a private ski racing HS, ski for a NCAA school, drop out and then move to a western mountain town and become a dishwasher.”
