Including Canada would have added at least four more hills to the list. Trying to make it to all the major hills in the USA is already a stretch!

Maybe next year 😉

Everyone has been talking about it, but it’s a list based only on stats and an algorithm. Stats cannot encompass and emotional human experience. I’m in touch with the South Lake people and hoping to put together a visit if possible. Maybe we can go hit up Heavenly together!

In my opinion, Heavenly sets the standard in Tahoe. Everyone compares themselves to Heavenly. Heavenly is the measuring rod. Plus, according to this guy writing for Forbes, Heavenly has the best Après ski party in North America. http://www.forbes.com/sites/larryolmsted/2012/02/20/skiing-gets-sexy-apres-reaches-new-heights/

However, I’m not sure I’m sold on Winter Park. I’m really not much of a mogul guy 😉

If I could I’d totally go to Kimberly, Fernie, Panorama, Kicking Horse, WhiteWater and Revelstoke. I grew up on those hills! But, it’s logistically impossible for us to go everywhere in one season. Canada will have to wait until next year.

Are you doing any skiing this season?

You don’t have Winter Park on your list and yet it is an awesome place for mogul lovers. Would love to try Telluride & Sun Valley in the US but would also like to do a tour in Canada of all the small resorts from Revelstoke through to the BC/US border and include all the Okanagan ski hills.
