You go to the places where most people go. I do not. I love big vertical, too. Unfortunately, much of that has been ruined by the scourge of high-speed lifts (I'm sure you love them). They spit people out in big clogs and they ruin one of the great things about skiing out West in the past after doing a two-mile run: resting your quads and truly enjoying the views. But the folks who skid instead of carve love them.
