What’s your all around favorite ski resort and why? Great terrain? Good crowd management? Nice lodging? Good apres/food scene? Reliable snow?
My favorite is Alta in terms of terrain and snow. But for a family friendly option with good slopeside lodging and food options and just all around awesome place, it’s probably Steamboat. |

| My favorite is also Alta- you cannot beat the terrain, conditions, and the culture (and no snowboarders!!!). But to your point, it’s not the most family friendly destination. I prefer park city/the canyons for all around vacation. |

A 3rd vote for Alta. Was just there 2 weeks ago after a couple days at Deer Valley and reminded of how much I like the skiing and the vibe. Much as I like luxury, there is something comforting about the Goldminers base area.
2nd favorite is Jackson Hole. 3rd is probably Aspen - combination of luxury and challenging skiing, but travel in/out can be unreliable. Just renewed my Ikon Pass for next year. |

| I’ve only skied the big resorts with kids and we’ve been to a lot of them. We love beaver creek. Small resort, family friendly terrain, upscale accommodations, candy cabin and fresh cookies for the kids. DH loves the advanced terrain at crested butte. |

| Vail- pretty much everything about it except for getting there/back to the airport. Amazing terrain, great instructors, shopping, food, no need to drive anywhere. Bus system between the two sides of the resort. |

Also White Grass. May be my favorite place on earth, and I have traveled a decent amount.
For big resorts... Beaver Creek for luxury. Any of the LCC/BCC resorts for terrain. Snowbird is probably my favorite. |

Enjoy many of these while you can. With global warming, many of these will not be sustainable due shorter/inconsistent seasons and in just a short couple of decades, will no longer be in operation. |

Here's hoping there is some snow there this coming year!!! |

| other than local resorts we have only been to Vail, Keystone and Breckenridge. Of the three we all prefer Breckenridge; tons of varying terrain and a great unique town. We like skiing Vail and Keystone but the manmade villages have no personality. |
