Whistler has a cool town and tons of vertical.
1 mile of vertical drop is pretty awesome. It's been a good year so far but it can get warm and rainy at the low elevations.

Utah is the best bet for consistent powder.

One of my best friends from college is from Baker and he says it is amazing. Most snowfall in the US annually and always skiing fresh tracks. After the new years, I will probably ski patrol in CO for the rest of the ski season.

jackson gets some terribly cold weather. be prepared for it as its not like skiing in tahoe. last few years has been mild so some are spoiled.
best snow is on the west side of mountains as thats where it drops. east side resorts get drier snow but much less.
big mountain whitefsih and fernie are small town atmosphere. nice. with no lift lines.
alpine in tahoe is great and sunny with mild weather. no back country. thats my favorite and it has some steep stuff.

Yeah telluride is on my list of places to check out this year...they're hurting for snow so far though. I hear great terrain, though.

If you are going to the San Juan mountains Taos is worth checking out as well.
