GetSkitickets.com have used their in-house mathematicians to came up with a list of which ski resorts in North America you get the most skiable acres per dollar spent. “The math is pretty simple, we took our 1 day adult lift ticket cost per resort and ran the number against how many skiable acres they have.”
However, they did forget to add Squaw/Alpine, Whistler/Blackcomb as well as a number of other resorts.
