What ski area would you want your ashes scattered?

At one of my recent trips to MRG I saw a photo of their sign with a message of remembrance, clearly someone that loves that place had passed and the family had scattered their ashes there.  MRG is certainly ash worthy in my book.  Where would you pick?

I want my ashes scattered at the height of land on Mount van Hoevenberg's Porter Mountain trail.  By the timing hut from the 1980 Winter Olympics.  Doesn't look like I'm ever gonna live up there.  Ashes scattered = the closest I'm gonna get.

Why can't you ever live up there? I think I caught that you live in New Jersey. Si or no? What's holding you there?

As far as having my ashes scattered I don't think I care to have it at a ski mountain. Heck, I'm not sure I care at all, I'll be dead! I guess tho if it means something to my surviving family I could think of something. But in all honesty I don't care.

Currently, Montezuma Bowl at A-Basin.  As far as my family member can hike out the ridge to the right.  It was the Tram platform from the top of Snowbird previously...who knows, maybe I will find a better one.  Off the backside of Haystack toward Panther Gorge is where my first hiking dog's ashes are...but if something like that tree at MRG takes me out, just leave me there

Really want mine placed in the soil where a young oak is planted, in a vast field.   Maybe I can compromise and have my family dedicate a baby spruce at Kicking Horse or some of the BC in Verbier.

I've got a long time to think about this being only 16.
I've lived in New York my entire life.

Mountain Creek because I'd never be caught there alive.
Don't ski the trees, ski the spaces between the trees.
