Sometimes where you live dictates a huge part of what your definition of "TECHNICAL" is. I lived in Northern NM and thought I was good. Then we made a road trip to the Durango and Crested Butte area. Durango was only 60 miles away, but the difference in terrain was huge. Our definition of technical was pretty weak up to that point.
I am lucky that I live 20 minutes away from Bootleg Canyon. When I feel the need to get new scar tissue I go there. Technical stuff is what makes riding a real workout. Plus its a blast hoppin and boppin up stuff.
