Discount ski ticket site Liftopia has compiled a list of what they feel are the top 10 overall ski areas in North America. The results are surprising to say the least. As you will see in the list below, two of the top three ski resorts do not allow snowboarders. Also missing from the list are any resorts owned by Vail Resorts.

We surveyed thousands of you and asked you to tell us what your favorite ski areas do best. We blended that feedback with things like resort size, cost and crowds to bring you the Best In Snow Awards. Whether you are looking for something family friendly or something off the beaten path, we used your feedback and our data to help you find your next favorite ski area. – Liftopia
