Top 10 Ski Resorts in the US | MojoTravels

I am glad Vail and Breck exist so all the people that ski Vail and Breck go to Vail and Breck.

Breckenridge trash vibes are off there

Alta >>>> all others

Not a single Washington resort on this list? Damn I feel insulted. Like I thought Baker or Crystal or Stevens would be on here potentially.

The fact you didnt put whitefish montana in here shows how little you know

You forgot to include Mamoth MT and Cottonwood Butte!

Any body ever been to grandy Colorado

I don't see Montana fave Lost Trail

I need to ski Jackson Hole and Aspen. To think I had them on my season pass two years ago and didn't even use it... Def wasn't a bad video, yep Vail lacks some steeps. Whistler is kind of out because the snow is too heavy, but the resort town itself is top tier (Vail, Aspen, Telluride, maybe even the best)

Sugarloaf in ME and Killington in VT are really the only mountains on the East that can get close to the west in terms of scale. Jay Peak VT and Loon Mountain NH are pretty rad too but they’re limited by size, you could totally ski every trail in a day or two there

um excuse me ALta does not play nice with snowbird as they do not allow snowboarders. screw alta man and deer vally

Vail is a bit expensive..lol.. That's an understatement .

You should make a list for the east coast. But honestly, Jay Peak VT is honestly good enough to deserve some recognition. The snow is amazing (best on east coast). The trees are amazing and rival with tree runs out west. And now there's actually stuff there to do now like an indoor waterpark.

I bet these guys are from LA county

Tf is this??? Title say best in US, but video says WEST? BULL, are least 2 east coast mountains that make the list

So glad you didn’t mention Taos.

It is tough to rank ski areas in the US or North America. You will always have people that disagree with you as everybody wants the same thing in a destination ski resort. I wish you would have done a better job of explaining why you ranked the resorts the way you did.

Its hard to argue with Jackson (formerly Jackson's Hole) Wy as #1, I started skiing there over 40 years ago and try to frequent it at least once a year. I'd have placed Vail near the bottom due to the lack of steeps, the long lift lines, and the crowds...not fun. You really need to to have included Crested Butte for its steeps, lack of lift lines and its economical cost. And lastly Big Sky should definitely be ranked near the top.
Just the opinion of someone that has done them all over the last 60 years.

not one single vermont or adk ski resort listed this really should be called busiest resorts that do the most advertising

Ski town USA is top 5 100000% and it’s my hometown, you had my house in the video

What about Mammoth mountain

I disagree with your picks, Aspen is always #1. With 4 full ski areas and better snow than other regions. The #1 ski town by far! Vail blows donk in so many ways when we are talking destination resorts. Jackson Hole is very remote and difficult to get to and the town sucks. Utah ski towns and Park City's terrane is kind of a yawner however I agree with Snowbird/Alta on your pecking order. Back country skiing is not as important overall when you take in consideration of the entire spectrum of ski travelers.

Be aware that the Little Cottonwood Canyon road has 4 wheel drive , snow tire or chains required on snow days. The local sheriffs check at mouth of the canyon road. Be prepared to wait for road to closed while Avalanche work is in progress. The road can close during the day due Avalanche. Even if you are already at Alta Snowbird they my go into Inter Lodge mode and everyone is required to stay inside because of high Avalanche danger. On powder days expect the lifts to be delayed until Ski Patrol finishes checking the resort section by section. The more snow the less terrain due to increased danger. Don’t expect grooming on powder days and it will get all tracked out and bumped out especially on trails leading to lifts. Alta Snowbird can require skills in deep variety of snow conditions. Go to Park City or Deer Valley for nice grooming.

What about Keystone

Great video. Few comments. For me Alta/Snowbird is #1, Jackson #2 and Kirkwood #3. In fact, any place with powder and steep enough terrain is great

Winter park should be on there

Jack’s hole #1 agree!

ALASKA?

Theres no way they just put Alta and Snowbird on number six. Seriously?

I like Copper Mountain, but Steamboat is awesome too.

There is no way Jackson Hole can be ahead of Vail or Aspen. They both have a really large amount of ski trails and the best of facilities. You fail to mention Vail has Beaver Creek and Arrowhead and Aspen has Buttermilk, Snow Mass and Aspen Highlands.

I feel like alpine Meadows or created butte should have been up there

I have skied all the rest and have a trip to visit Jackson Hole in January 2023

What about Purgatory?

Love Jackson hole

Yes! Jackson Hole is by far the best skiing in North America.

I’m surprised Alyeska didn’t make the list. But it’s a pretty small resort compared to the ones on here.

This was a really weird list. There doesn’t seem to be any underlying logic to it. For example, why would Vail be higher than Park City? I’m not saying it shouldn’t be based on some objective reason, but just based on the criteria the video itself provided. Park City has more terrain, is less expensive, and has more interesting town. These are all things the video pointed out!

You could make the case that Vail is better because of its bowls, for example, but they made no such statement.

How is Aspen that high, and Deer Valley isn’t even on the list? Does Aspen mean all four mountains? Does it include Snowmass? Snowmass is a great resort, and I’d include on a list like this for sure, the reasons being a great base, no lift lines, snow preservation, diverse terrain, the widest runs I’ve ever seen, and good vertical, to name some things, but Aspen itself isn’t that great a mountain.

So what in the world is the criterion? If it’s expert terrain and back country, which is apparently why they made Jackson Hole #1, that doesn’t explain the list either, as they’re are other resorts left out that are better than the ones included in this regard.

Finally, to end this rant, what about resorts like A Basin? That’s a great skiers mountain, but if you want to leave that out because it’s not a destination resort, ok, but then again, how is Deer Valley not on the list?

A. Vail is not number 2. Beaver creek (20 mins away) has more runs, and better snow

B. This is basically a commercial

C. These guys don’t go skiing

You left out ski magazines #1 resort the last 2 years back to back...... Sun Valley.

Not a fan of the long run-off at the base of Breckenridge. Haven't been there in 20 years, but I remember that the most. My favorite is Snowbird/Alta for pure skiing, and Aspen/Vail for the combo of nightlife and Piste. Aspen Highlands was great for the steeps and backcountry. Ultimately, you really can't go wrong anywhere in the Rockies, especially if you're from the Ice Coast.

Nice video 👍 We are happy to subscribe to the channel. Greetings from Germany. Martin & Angelika😘😘👍

mammoth is fosho the best resort for snowboarding

It's pronounced Al-Ta, not All-Ta.

It's much cheaper to ski in ski resorts around salt lake city because you can stay in the city and take free ski shuttles to the resorts if you are IKon pass holder.

😮

Beaver creek Colorado is top 3 in my opinion it’s really good ski and really good town it’s just a little expensive

Jesus loves you and is with you forever

It's really hard to argue with this list. Unfortunately I live in Washington State. We're known for the Cascade Cement we ski on. But WhistlerBlackcomb is close. And skiing the Okanagon is pretty damn good.

Are you stoked to get skiing?
