USA Today readers voted on their favorite ski resorts, and the Top 10 list is ready to go. There are some usual suspects that made the list, and some that might surprise you.
This list is definitely skewed towards a certain skiing population that might focus on the overall resort experience (lodging, accommodations, etc.). Notable absences for skiing experience include Alta, Snowbird, Brighton, Solitude, Arapahoe Basin, Smugglers’ Notch, and Grand Targhee in my book.
What do you think about this list? Do you agree? If not, who would you put in your Top 10 list?
