Whistler-Blackcomb, BC
Scheduled to stay open 'til late May this year, then they switch to summer activities. However, the glacier is open for skiing all summer. So, in essence - it never closes.
Two years ago W/B had the longest vertical drop in North America at just over 1 mile - not sure who's got that record now. That's the
height of the top of the run above the bottom. The longest run is listed at 7 miles.
If you really want to be jealous.
The city of Vancouver is 125 km (just about 70miles) south of W/B. Within or adjoining the Vancouver Metro boundaries are
another 3 ski hills. At least 1 or 2 of them are accessible by normal local transit.
The terrain at the city hills is rugged enough that every year several people ski outside the bounds, and get lost, and spend the night or 3 nights in the woods waiting to be rescued. Sometimes within sight of the city lights. Every couple of years someone gets lost badly enough they die. Within several kilometres of a major city, with one of North America's best volunteer SAR teams looking for them (they're good because they get to practice so much).
Heck, the terrain is so rugged in the 1950's a commercial airliner disappeared on the landing approach. They finally found it, but accident, about 15 years ago. The hikers called it in by cell-phone, and could see the city from the little rise they topped to get a cell phone signal.
And those are the city hills. Imagine what the terrain at W/B is like?
Yet the weather is mild enough through the summer that you can go sailing all year round, and it's often suitable to go golfing. So, ski in the morning and golf in the afternoon, and then pop into your sailboat and go for cruise.
Spoiled? Nah.....
