3. Telluride Ski Resort, Colo.
“Telluride is the most scenic of all resorts. Recommend the mid-mountain restaurant Bon Vivant when it’s available. Wonderful experience, but you must go upon opening as it gets crowded.”

6. Whistler Blackcomb, B.C.
“Whistler Blackcomb is a great place. The skiing is wonderful with runs that go on for miles. Fresh Tracks is a great bargain. Upload early, buffet breakfast on top of Whistler, and an hour of the trails before the lifts open to the public. The grooming at Whistler is incredible. On-mountain food runs the gamut from snack foods, ethnic, and gourmet sit-down fare.”
No. 7 Overall in the West: Whistler Blackcomb
7. Steamboat, Colo.
No. 8 in the West: Steamboat
