The PNW, and by a good measure!  The season is later (year round!) and
the snowpack is deeper, providing a good base for those occasional July
snowstorms at altitude!  By mid summer CO touring is usually winding
down big time, but often hitting prime-time above 7-8k'.

Permanent snowfields are few in CO, while the PNW has many snowfields &
glaciers skiable any time, but they can be pretty nasty-dirty &
runnelled by half-past August into September. But skiin' is still
skiin', and way better than goin' to the gym, eh?
