Excellent!

This is one thing I miss since moving donw to Virginia from Massachusetts - there is a total lack of respectable skiing areas.

So what's the boarding like in BC? We were seriously thinking about a trip to Whistler, but the long-haul nature put us off...
Of course the lure of perfect pow might change my mind.
Any sure-fire recommendations?

God rides at Whistler.

no kidding.. that lift up the side of that cliff makes you feel like your sitting on top of the world.. the slippery little chair your sitting on gets the adrenaline going.. fun mountain to ski

I haven't been to Whistler in over 20 years, but a few things I know for sure: it's crowded, expensive, and you can get shut down by rain. It's also huge, incredible terrain, a wild party scene and probably the trendiest hill in North America right now.

If you want to do things a little cheaper and quieter, check out the BC interior, especially Big White.

I'd be kinda limited to the places where the package tour companies go, e.g.
Banff
Fernie
Jasper
Lake Louise
Whistler
...
But then I don't like crowds and I am certainly not trendy!
Is "Big White" the place to go for perfect powder or should I go back to studying the Hokkaido snow reports?

If you're in the UK you'd be better off staying in Europe.

Switzerland has some amazing hills, especially if you're into off-piste (better than piste off i always say...and far better than piste on...).
If you go to Verbier, don't have an accident, it took them about an hour to find me after I did my knee in from a fall (white out, went off the side of the piste) - almost froze...

There's a lot of powder at Big White. It has the advantage of having affordable on-hill accomodation and tons of varied terrain. The terrain is not as extreme as you can find at Whistler or Sunshine, but there are still some tough true double-diamond runs.

Of the listed hills, Fernie is probably your best chance at perfect powder. But like Whistler, sometimes there's a fine line between powder and rain. Banff is local to 3 resorts: Sunshine, Norquay and Lake Louise. The terrain and scenery is awesome, and sometimes you will get nice powder but don't count on it. Sunshine has the best snow of the three. Jasper (Marmot Basin, actually) is a great hill, gentler than the others but still a lot of fun, but has the most marginal snow conditions of all.

If you're in the UK you'd be better off staying in Europe.

Might be different now that the dollar is stronger, but last I talked to UK tourists it was actually cheaper to come to Canada for an extended ski holiday than to go to Europe. Also, the snow is consistently better and you don't have to deal with the supreme assholery that is European lift lines.

You should patent that one
