In the 2023 edition of the Conde Nast awards, Snowmass in western Colorado emerged as the premier ski resort in the U.S. and Canada. This is a significant climb for Snowmass, as it moved up to the first position from the second spot it held in the previous year. The resort is known for its impressive ski area, which includes a dramatic 4,406-foot elevation drop and a vast 3,342 acres of skiing terrain. According to Snowmass’ official website, the resort boasts 98 trails and 21 chairlifts, all situated on a mountain that reaches a lofty 12,510 feet at its peak.
