Alaska, hands down
Aside from being cold as anything, the state association does not sponsor pole vault anymore. I don't know if any of the colleges up there even have it. Plus, you're realllly far away from getting to compete anywhere else. There are not many vaulting facilities in BC, and most of them are down near WA.

Yeah but late spring and summer in Washington are awesome. Plus we have some great coaches and lots of good facilities- ok some good facilities. Definitely getting better though b/c Washington has a great tradition of pole vaulting.

Come Vault In my homestate of New Hampshire which is probably comparable to Alaska, then we will talk, i remember shoveling the track off in late april to try and jump. New England is not a track and field area

Not sure how Michigan compares to Alaska or New Hampshire, but coming form California, weather is that much worse here in MI. I dont know if it really is THAT BAD, or im just going off of comparison, considering i lived in CA my whole life.
as of right now you cant even see the outdoor track. still covered in snow.
