Resorts of the Year 2019: Best Grooming in the West

2. Deer Valley, Utah
"This season was really a test for the Deer Valley's snowmaking and grooming staff. They provided outstanding groomed snow all season, even when mother nature came up short."
3. Sun Valley, Idaho
"The ski experience is vast and varied. The grooming and snowmaking are very well done. The lodges on the mountain are beautiful and the food is as good as the ambiance. The towns of Ketchum and Sun Valley are old West and include plenty of good restaurants, shopping and art galleries."
