According to Skimag.com…take it for what it’s worth, but I think these rankings are fair enough. I guess it is based on readers picking them, which is probably pretty accurate because Deer Valley didn’t make the cut. I personally think places like Telluride and Taos should be higher because of the rocks. So are there any notable resorts left out? Its for terrain challenge in the west so the Mad River Glen kooks need not chime in (just kidding I love you guys). I was sort of surprised Alyeska did not make the cut, maybe not enough readers have skied there? For inbounds terrain I can vouch for Aly, that place is burly and they throw the most bombs of anywhere which is saying something. Anyway, cool poll Ski mag, whose mountain made it?
