Chile is the king of champagne pow (I’m told).

I’ve had plenty of days in Aust riding with World Champion skiers (with 30 years of back-to-back winters), who grew up in Sun Peaks. That have rated 4-5 days in Aust that rivalled anywhere in the States.

Ummm, what about a little place called South America?

Glacier summer ski/snowboard camps? (Camp of Champions for example).

It’s ridiculous to compare snow for a certain time of the year. People can travel 12 months of the year. They have limited funds and get to chose where they put their skiing/snowboarding dollars.

It’s that type of attitude which is driving people away.
