PeakRatings breaks down the major difference between ski resorts in Europe vs America.

Interesting video from the folks at PeakRankings detailing the major differences between ski resorts in Europe vs North America. They research was conducted while visiting six European resorts: Les 3 Vallées, Chamonix, Zermatt/Cervinia, Verbier, Crans-Montana, and Andermatt.

The comprehensive breakdown included things like resort size and interconnectivity, terrain ratings, signage, public transportation, snow conditions, après, and lift ticket prices. Ultimately, it sounds like Europe has a great atmosphere and modern infrastructure, but the snow quality is usually not as good compared to top North American skiing destinations.
