I agree that lots of experts will enjoy Vail but "an expert that wants to ski the steepest stuff" will be disappointed with Vail. Snowbird, Taos, Crested Butte, Jackson... These are the places for people who must have the steepest stuff.

I'm an expert who skis BC/Vail every year with family in addition to other destinations. I enjoy both and both have lots of advanced terrain but when you start talking about sustained 32 degree or steeper pitches there isn't much. Vail has Rasputin, chicken yard and front side chutes (often closed) areas. BC doesn't really have any. Stone creek chutes are short (about 300' vert), several glades have short steeps and lots of long mogul fields. Peregrine might barely qualify. I doubt I'm missing much but if so, please share.

No argument, missed your modifier there in the original.
