Mountain Review: Cerro Catedral
While crowds are a real problem, no other Argentinian ski resort can provide the same combination of terrain diversity, lift infrastructure, and raw aesthetic.
Mountain Review: La Parva
With standout views, advanced terrain, and quality snow (when it comes), this high-alpine Chilean resort may be one of the most overlooked resorts in the South American ski scene.
Mountain Review: Valle Nevado
Thanks to its availability on the Ikon Pass and on-site lodging options, Valle Nevado is one of the most visited South American ski areas by North American based skiers and riders.
Mountain Review: Portillo
With a stunning setting overlooking a lake in the beautiful Andes mountains, this Chilean resort is one of the most distinctive ski areas in South America. But are its demanding slopes and unique ski lifts right for you?
Mountain Review: Mount Bohemia
This “No Beginners Allowed” ski resort sits in one of the most remote and snowy places in the Midwest, making for one of the most unique, but polarizing, experiences in the country.
Mountain Review: Mont-Sainte-Anne
While its northern location may dissuade some from visiting, this Quebec resort’s broad diversity and high-quality terrain make it a standout option versus other East Coast ski resorts.
Mountain Review: Le Massif de Charlevoix
While it isn’t the most consistent ski area in the East, this Quebec resort’s otherworldly river views, reasonable crowds, and strong terrain allow it to stand out considerably versus anything else within thousands of miles of it.
Mountain Review: Bridger Bowl
Despite being a family-friendly, local ski resort without the luxuries of destination resorts, this Montana resort offers some of the most extreme terrain in the country for a refreshingly affordable cost.
Mountain Review: Mission Ridge
Sunny slopes, high quality snow, and a lack of lift lines make this central Washington resort a compelling regional option, although snow totals aren’t the highest.
Mountain Review: White Pass
While not as large or steep as some competitive resorts in the Pacific Northwest, White Pass features diverse intermediate terrain and an unbeatable setup for beginners to progress.
