We've tallied the results from our reader survey. And thrown in a few of our favorites. Drum roll please...Announcing the winners of this year's resort awards: the best park, powder, steeps, backcountry access, trees, parties and more.
Don't bring your nice shoes.
Mind blowing features for the tall-t set.
The champagne is so crisp you won’t even care about the pain the morning after.
The heavens really open up in Utah. These neighboring resorts at the end of Little Cottonwood Canyon typically get more than 600 inches a year.
Don't let the quaint New England charm fool you. Stowe can be one of the toughest mountains in the country.
With the exception of Whistler Blackcomb, no other resort comes close to matching Jackson for easy access to back- and sidecountry lines.
Like the Olympics it’s about to host, Whistler Blackcomb is big, hyped, and full of underage Asian women on drugs.
Ranked by the magazine's readers...mostly.
For the last five years, Skiing has ranked resorts according to your input. We send your survey results to a statistics company that - and we hope they're reading this - takes us to the cleaners just to process them. We take the pain because we want to know what you think. And thou hath spoken. This year, you've chosen your favorite overall mountain, as well as backcountry access, steeps, trees, park, powder, apres, and eastern resort. And we've added a few of our favorites. Welcome to Skiing's inaugural Resort Awards.
