Vail

With expansive, diverse terrain and modern lifts, this top-of-the-line resort competes well with the best in the country.

Okemo

This family-friendly mountain boasts modern lifts and a wide variety of groomers, but expert terrain is lacking. Crowding has gotten worse in recent seasons.

Size, snow quality, and terrain diversity make this East Coast mountain incredibly appealing, but navigation could be easier.

Sunday River

One of New England’s largest, most reliable ski resorts is held back by a so-so vertical drop and less intense terrain than some competitors.
