Whistler Blackcomb.

Arguing what the best ski resort in North America is would hardly be an easy task. What do you take into consideration? How much value do you put on each aspect? Do you look for family friendliness? The best snow? The most varied terrain? The largest mountain? There’s so much to consider that definitively saying one mountain is the best is nearly impossible.

And yet PeakRankings seems pretty certain that Canada’s Whistler Blackcomb is the best in North America, and there’s good reason for it. It’s massive, has a wide variety of terrain, gets epic snowfalls, has stunning views around the mountain, and so much more. Like any mountain there are some downsides, but they’re frequently outshined by the upsides. So what do you think, is PeakRankings correct on this one?
