Ski Magazine just released their Top 10 Ski Resorts for 2007 and I’m stoked on how 6 of the 10 are throwing distance from me:

1. Deer Valley, UT. It’s about 500 miles away from me, so I’ll probably never go there and I’m kind of ignorant of how Mormons feel about “my kind”.

2. Vail, CO. This place is awesome. Only 2 hours away from me. The resort gets copious amounts of soft fluffy powder almost everyday all day, but the town itself sucks hairy donkey balls. I was there with a few friends and we went out for some drinks, but it must of been amateur hour at the Apollo that night. Basically a bunch of frat boys trying to spread the clap and hood rats trying to get into fist fights over who has the biggest hoop earrings.

3. Whistler/Blackcomb, B.C. I’ve never been here, but I definitely want to go sooner than later. The other half of Future Relic, Kenyon, has gone there a couple of times. The 2010 Winter Olympics is going to be held here as well. The only thing that may suck about it is that you have to fly to Vancouver and THEN drive to get there…and it’s in Canada. Canada, eh?

4. Aspen, CO. You have to be ballin’ to go here. I mean like Lebron James kind of money. It usually takes me 4 hours to get there, but when it’s a powder day I heard it can take as long as 13 hours.

5. Snowmass, CO. Snowmass is pretty much right next to Aspen, so you can say that their one in the same.

6. Park City, UT. It’s in Utah…

7. Breckenridge, CO. It’s like RIGHT there (less than 2 hours away). Affectionately called Breck, this place is probably where most of the locals go skiing or riding.

8. Beaver Creek, CO. Right past Vail.

9. Steamboat, CO. This place is a little bit far in comparison to the other resorts, but another perfect example why the big C-O is the place to be during the winter.

10. Sun Valley, ID. Potatoes and ski hoes.
