Why does everyone hate Summit County / Eagle County and Denver?

You do realize that Anywhere in Park City is closer to Alta/Snowbird than Denver is to Summit County? The bird has one of the longest seasons of the year and the terrain in LCC literally blows away Summit County. This is not even a debate among sane people. Park City is also 45 mins from snow basin and 1:15 from Powder Mountain. If the Wasatch BC is too crowded there is always the Uintas. Jackson Hole, Grand Targhee, Big Sky, and Sun Valley are an easy mornings drive. Hell I can probably be in Telluride is less time than most Front Range bros. Annnnnnd, the PP mentioned that is was tops for raising a family, again hands down no debate, best schools in the State and some of the best public schools in the nation. There's also the Winter school if yer grom shows real promise.

Ummm there's like 4 mountain ranges the size of the wasatch in summit county colorado alone.....

It may be debatable whether the gore range or the wasatch is more rowdy, but summit also has the ten mile range, the front range, the mosquito range. Just quantity of mountains alone puts summit county colorado over summit county utah

Dont get me wrong I like utah, but summit county colorado is pretty rad too. And there's way more mountains in colorado and they're taller which means they likely hold snow longer. And we all know how elusive wasatch corn is. Oh and the bird closes this weekend, abasin wont be closed for awhile (and now that john Cummings owns the bird my guess is that summer tram skiing will be drastically shortened in the future, tram repairs or not)

Colorado is a trigger word for me.

Yuuudge mountains

Legal greens

Western slope towns with outdoor activities galore

Not many spots for cube monkeys to roost :(

When one says the terrain in LCC blows away the terrain in SuCo, I'm assuming we're talking lift-served terrain, and terrain that is generally skiable mid-winter? I would definitely buy that. The snowpack in Colorado sucks. But if you're simply talking terrain overall, then that's absurd. Have you seen the Gore Range (see Lindahl's recent TR for an example)? For the stout folks who get after it, I don't buy the statement.

For lift served, high quantity & quality snowfall, and % of expert terrain, best place I've been are the Cottonwoods. YMMV.
There are some ridiculous mountain ranges here that get walloped with snowfall, but they are often buried deep in wilderness or snowcat zones.

Gore is mostly long approaches for good but short skiable vert with few exceptions (and those get hammered these days). An average Gore line is 6-7 miles in and 4-5000 vert up for maybe 1500 vert of skiing. Keeps the crowds on the periphery and it is pretty.

the snowpack and backcountry terrain don't suck in the cottonwoods either

I think this baller lives in an urban smarthome 10 min from snowbird

<p>
Skied Copper today. First time In a while. Fun mountain. The vibe is very much Fox Racing Flat Bill, WRX with an Ikon Pass Sticker, bumping Dubstep from 2014 in the lot. And thats ok. I&#39;m glad that, the aforementioned culture hasn&#39;t permeated the places I mainly ski, so I can accept Summit County for what it is. A somewhat Seedy Exurb of Denver with more a gaper/non core ski population compared to SLC, Jackson, PNW. It feels very artifical and sanitized and thats ok.&nbsp;</p>

Summit Cty is seedy? Oooo kay
