  9. Heavenly

    Its American! On a normal snow day well groomed trails and easy to follow maps, although not that much in terms of steeps on piste. However on a powder day almost ridiculous in terms of off piste riding both in terms of quality and accessability. 4 snowboard parks all well maintained ranging from Groove at Cal Base for beginners to High Roller off Canyon chair for some seriously large features.
    Freeriding: 80% - Trees & good off-piste
    Freestyle: 75% - 4 Terrain parks & halfpipe
    Pistes: 82% - Huge number of excellent slopes

  10. Beaver Creek

    Great grooming and solid steeps - at a steep price Beaver Creek's steeps and rollers are great for freeriding, and the grooming is second to none. Beginners can also take advantage of their nationally ranked ski and ride schools. Nightlife is expensive, befitting the well-heeled crowd that prefers furs to fleece.
    Freeriding: 79% - Some cool spots
    Freestyle: 76% - Good parks & pipe
    Pistes: 80% - Perfectly groomed
