Top Ten Ski Resorts for Experts

Ski and Snowboard lists its top ten ski resorts for experts, and I have to say I mostly agree. As I write this,
having just returned from snowboarding on Mammoth
Mountain — SIX inches of freshie — I am glad it made the list. The only area I’m not so sure about is Sugarloaf. Maybe
someone can enlighten me why it should make the list while Vail and its backbowls do not.

1. Jackson Hole, WY

2. Snowbird, UT and
Alta, UT

3. Whistler Blackcomb, BC, Canada

4. Squaw Valley, CA

5. Taos, NM

6. Crested Butte, CO

7. Kirkwood, CA

8. Red Mountain, BC, Canada

9. Mammoth Mountain, CA

10. Sugarloaf USA, ME
