My best blue goes to Mission. Best easy black is a split between Stevens (Orion) and Crystal (Iceberg). But nothing beats Baker's Roman Wall (when God grooms it right). N

Timberline does a good job in the summer on the Palmer. I know, not in the state of Washington, but I love to head up after work and get a couple laps in just after they have groomed and the slushy corn has started to refreeze. Usually there isn't a single person on the mountain, so I have the whole thing, top to bottom, too myself.

Mission first thing. Three minutes at terminal velocity if you want it. The only time I had Orion to myself was my first back country day and it was surprisingly more groomed than I ever saw it. Trouble is that was back in y2k and I was on megas with superloops. Haven't really been back to Steven's since.

Solitude has some steep groomers. Not very long, though.

Having not skied "everything," I'm not sure if this is true, but indeed the RW has given me my all-time favorite early summer run - something like an inch of sun-softened over a nice carvable packed fresh snow surface.

SW Chutes on Adams (3000')?  Timing is everything.

Or maybe Squak Glacier on Baker (6000')?
