It’s Washington Week at PeakRankings! Here’s What’s Going Down.

This week, we’re integrating a brand new state into our rankings! Each day from Monday to Friday, we’re releasing a review of a Washington resort we visited this winter.

Ratings Adjustment: Snow King Snow Score

Due to distinctions in accumulation character and snow preservation, we’ve decided to update Snow King’s score to adequately reflect the resort’s snow quality.

Ratings Re-Adjustment: Deer Valley Facilities Score

Deer Valley stands alone with its ski valet services and unparalleled hospitality, and we feel this is not adequately reflected in the resort’s current calibration. As a result, we’ve decided to renege on a previous change we made to the Utah ski area’s facilities score.

We’ve Adjusted our Terrain Diversity Category to Better Measure Resorts with Fewer Traditional Terrain Areas.

We’ve made a slight adjustment to our terrain diversity criteria to better reflect how typical guests spend time on the mountain. Seven resorts see score changes as a result.

Score Change: Copper Quietly Adds New Trails for 2021-22

Copper has expanded their skiable footprint by 17 acres, just putting them over the hurdle to move into our next size category.
