On a recent trip where i experienced a number of Nth American resorts, Kirkwood really impressed.
A quieter, more local/family vibe, but with great lift infrastructure and awesome, varied terrain.
Loved the big powder bowls, long gullys that meander down the mountain like a natural halfpipe, and some great tree runs. All linked by corduroy groomers if that's your thing.

Lots of open terrain, with a lot of vertical drop ins, great intermediate park, super fun double black diamond and thay is open, steep and long. Very easy resort to explore. Almost all skiable terrain with cool shoots and pipes.
