    North Cascades mysteriously absent

    This thread is a fucking embarrassment.

    @YellowSnow claiming Oregon has superior geography is embarassing

    WA State only has 4 fucking mountain ranges (Cascades, Olympics, Selkirks, Blues), the most rugged range in the lower 48 (N. Cascades), 5 fucking real and tuff Volcanoes (Glacier Peak counts), a dense mossy rainforest, a fjord with tons of islands in it, the god damn Enchantments.

    Eastern Oregon is a wasteland east of Smith Rock. WA state actually has bodies of water and a river going through it. There is jack shit for hundreds of miles except scrub pine in Eastern Oregon.

    WA state wilderness is the big leagues, Oregon is the minors. The only thing I would say Oregon has over WA is better coastline, but WA has some great spots too.

    This thread really outs those who actually do outdoorsy shit from those who ski in Aspen and pretend.
    @PostGameOrangeSlices there were only 3 ski resorts (2 hosted the winter olympics) within 5 mins of my high school and 9 total within 60 mins but I’m probably a poser hipster who doesn’t anything about the great outdoors.
    My aspen comment was a low tweak and not to be taken seriously.

    Washington has over 110 peaks taller than 7,000 feet. Oregon has less than 40.
    Sure, but Oregon has more peaks above 9k.

    16 vs 12. Interesting

    WA has a shit load of 8k ones that barely miss the cut and our serious mountains, like Dragontail. Fun climb
    We'd probably get along IRL. Just trying to inform here.

    For sure. Another factor against Oregon for me is the distance it takes to get there. Want to loan me your RV? Only moderate wear and tear from coke and strippers

    You all laugh, but this was a real live debate over at Doogman years back. It morphed into a state level debate where people were comparing / competing over which state had the better geographical topography and greater natural beauty. CastlerockRon/royotis was throwing down for Washington, arguing that Oregon just didn't have an answer for Mt. Rayonier. There were protracted arguments between morons over whether Olympic National Park was better than Crescent Lake, etc. etc.

    This literally went on for months and people were taking it seriously.

    So who won?!!
    Washington, of course.

    Lake Chelan was the tie breaker. The Oregonians had no answer.
    I have to go with Oregon from a geological / topography perspective. I prefer Bachelor to any of the WA ski resorts although Seattle is way closer to Whistler. Oregon's wine country is way better than Washington's. Oregon coast is better too. The Bend / Sunriver area is fantastic.
    Crystal and Baker are both ten times better than Bachelor what the actual fuck
    Bachelor has way better vertical than either Crystal or Baker. They get plenty of snow. Far shorter lift lines than Crystal on the weekends.
    Crystal is awful on the weekends. Most the day is spent in line and on the chairs.

    Sorry bruh - I take it personally when someone takes a jab at my mountain man street cred.

    All kidding aside, of course Washington’s mountains and glacier carved lowlands are more impressive than Oregon. But my remark about geography was more a preference for the Oregon coast and the Bend / Sunriver area over anything comparable in WA.

    Baker and Crystal both do some things better than Bachelor but overall the latter is the better mountain.

    One thing Crystal has that none of the others have, including Whistler, is a can't-get-closer view of a giant mother fucking volcano.
