Mountain Review: Beaver Creek
Despite its family-centric reputation and lack of above-treeline terrain, Beaver Creek delivers an experience that visitors of all ability levels will enjoy. Just don’t expect anything to be cheap.
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.
Mountain Review: Copper
This Colorado favorite offers very competitive terrain, but many lifts outside base areas are slow.
Mountain Review: Stratton (2019-2023)
This southern Vermont mountain delivers an ideal family experience thanks to excellent grooming and easy navigation, but you’ll be giving up some snow and terrain quality for the location.
Mountain Review: Stowe (2019-2022)
Despite a few logistical flaws, this classic Vermont resort holds its own against the best on the East Coast.
Mountain Review: Snow King (2019-2021)
This small, local Wyoming resort offers cheap lift tickets and demanding slopes. A number of shortcomings make the mountain undesirable for less advanced visitors.
Mountain Review: Big Sky
This massive resort offers one of the most well-rounded terrain experiences in North America, but a number of logistical problems persist.
Mountain Review: Jackson Hole
This Teton resort lives up to its extremely demanding reputation. Beginners need not apply.
Mountain Review: Arapahoe Basin (2019-2022)
While slow lifts and a lack of on-site lodging may turn some people away, this local favorite offers some of the most extreme terrain in Colorado. Crowds have improved recently with the move from Epic to Ikon.
Mountain Review: Keystone (2019-2022)
This Colorado resort offers unique, enjoyable slopes and a class-leading terrain park, but none of the resort’s expansive bowl terrain is directly lift accessible.
