What are your favorite ski resorts that you've skied or snowboarded? I love the double-black stuff - steeps, trees, rocks, etc. Here's my top three:

1. Snowbird, UT - The best snow is in Utah. Great steeps too.

2. Crested Butte, CO - Lots of steep terrain. I used to live nearby, so I'm a little biased on this one.

3. Jackson Hole, WY. - As the younger generations would say, it's extreme. The backcountry accessibility and terrain are both amazing.

Good topic, my 3 are as followed.

Beaver Creek, CO....tons of hidden tree stashes, great parks and a couple GREAT back country hikes.

Sunday River, ME....Grew up on this mountain

Big Sky, MT.....nothing better than getting on the tram and hitting above tree line first thing in the morning.

Been a long time since I went to Montana skiing but out of the three resorts I went to on that trip, Big Sky, Bridger and Red Lodge, I thought Bridger was the best. Of course getting a fresh foot of powder helped.

I'll second (or 3rd) Big Sky. No lift lines and thanks to the Tram, great terrain. I also love more local out of the way places like Bridger, Big Mountain in Whitefish (called something else now) and Powder Mountain north of Salt Lake City.

Indianhead, Lutsen and Spirit Mt. in that order. I've never been out west, someday though.

While in high school my mom worked at Indianhead. Out of the 3 resorts up there (Powderhorn, Blackjack and Indianhead), I like Indianhead the best also.

My first would be Arapahoe Basin Summit county, I know Vail is snobbish but I think their wide variety of terrain is great.

I lived in Breckenridge for 3 years but only skied it when I didn't have money for Gas or didn't wake up in time for shuttle.

      My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
