Mountain Review: Crystal
Despite some notable lift capacity shortcomings, this decently-sized resort offers one of the most well-rounded experiences in Washington state.
Mountain Review: Stevens Pass
Despite limited parking and a short vertical drop, this modestly-sized Washington ski area punches above its weight thanks to generous accumulation and demanding terrain. Clear skies are rare due to perennial fog.
Mountain Review: Mount Baker
While it doesn’t even try to offer a true resort experience, this remote Washington area receives truly astounding snowfall totals each season and offers some of the most extreme terrain in the state.
Mountain Review: Summit at Snoqualmie
Really more of a large hill than a mountain, this area offers a solid learning environment for Seattle-area residents. Destination-goers should look elsewhere.
Mountain Review: Alpental
This small resort offers incredible advanced and expert terrain close to Seattle. However, weekend crowds are a major problem.
Mountain Review: Mammoth
This massive resort offers a highly competitive experience only hours from Southern California, although variable weather patterns may not make it the best place to fly to.
Mountain Review: Whiteface
Severe wind problems and unreliable trail openings detract from one of the most unique, challenging resorts on the East Coast.
Mountain Review: Bromley
While much smaller and less diverse than Vermont’s major destinations, this local-feeling hill will satisfy families thanks to easy navigation and low crowds.
Mountain Review: Mount Snow
This popular resort delivers a lot for southern Vermont but struggles to handle crowds in some areas.
Mountain Review: Tremblant
This busy, frigid resort offers a well-rounded East Coast experience and spectacular base village.
