My favorite place in the world is Aspen, Colorado. Such a great ski town. It's small and remote, has incredible skiing, very high elevations, outstanding restaurants and hotels. It takes over 4 hours to drive there from Denver, so you never get weekend skiier crowds like they get in places like Vail and Copper. Aspen has its own airport right there, too. There is so much great skiing there, especially the double-black terrain, and it's not well known for that... so its never crowded. In all the years I've been skiing there, I've never had to wait in line for a lift more than a couple of minutes.
I have been going there for at least a week every year since I was 10, and I'll never stop.
If I had to pick a place in Canada, it would be Whistler. The town there is great, too. I prefer the skiing in Colorado, however.... because of the higher elevations they get better snow quality. The west coast mountains are not as tall as the Rockies, and the snow tends to be wetter and heavier. Colorado gets dryer, powder snow.
