End of April / early May, Whistler, PNW, or Mammoth?

#1
Rating: 0

Got a few options for the end of the month, so I'm deciding whether to stay put and get in a day or two at Whistler, drive a bit further to Hood / Bachelor, or head down to Mammoth. Which would you choose, given the snow conditions at this time, and the best bang for the buck?

I can't predict the weather, but Bachelor keeps getting cold powder, not  uncommon in the spring.  A spring season pass is about $100.

Bachelor has a huge advantage that it wraps out around the base of a circular mountain.  You can start on the east side, where the sun first hits, and move progressively westward as the section you're in melts too much.  If skiing becomes poor you can bag it for the day and head back into town for some golf or mountain biking.

In Bozeman waiting for first contact
