A Note From the Team in the Wake of the COVID-19 Outbreak

As many of you have heard already, most major ski resorts across North America have announced closures in the wake of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak. Some of these closures are temporary for now, but we think it would be surprising to see any of these resorts open again this season. Our team had hoped to stop by a number of other resorts this season to finalize their ratings, but unfortunately, it looks like that’s no longer going to happen. That doesn't mean you won’t be seeing more content, however—we’ve drafted reviews of dozens more mountains and plan to publish them in the coming months.

A major part of PeakRankings’ mission is to provide mountain information that’s as accurate and transparent as possible. As many of you know, that means we enlist local contacts at every mountain we review to ensure the quality of our content. These locals typically work at ski shops or local stores, and due to the impending season closures of nearly every U.S. resort, they may be quite difficult to reach in the near future. As a result, though we’ll continue to post content, it may be published at a slower rate than usual. While we believe that the season is essentially over now, we recognize that a number of you read our content for entertainment and enjoy reading what we put out. We want to reiterate our commitment to you, our readers, and hope you continue to make use of this site when picking your next ski vacation.
