Per the Vanat report linked below, the busiest ski areas (in terms of skier-days per year) are:
WB (2.2 million skier-days)
Breck (1.8)
Vail (1.7)
PC (1.3)
Mammoth (1.2)
Keystone (1.2)
Copper (1.1)
It's often hard to come by accurate numbers for skier-days since ski areas treat these as trade...
Over the last couple of weeks, we have seen the world take numerous measures in an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19. For Vail Resorts, that has meant closing all 34 of our North American resorts. That difficult decision was necessary in order to prioritize the health and wellbeing of our...

I just got my SKI magazine in the mail yesterday where they rank the overall Top 30 resorts in the West and Top 20 in the East, with some random subcategory rankings sprinkled in for good measure. As always, there are some head-scratchers.
Overall Top 10 in West:
1) Aspen/Snowmass
2) Sun...

So this last week I went up to Blackcomb to partake in 2 days of bumps in the zipper line. What a blast, and what a rude awakening.
I realized the night before Day 1 that there was a chance I'd get dumped from class. On signing up, I failed to make the connection that a level 5/6 in Canadian...
Vail just announced that due to soft pre-holiday activity, the company now sees full year earnings to be below previous expectations (see link below).

Im looking at the forecast for Whistler and for certain days, it is forecasting 15 inches at the peak, 6 inches at mid-station and zero rain or snow fall at the base. Temperature at base is at 40 to 45F. Why is that?
90% reliability record
better snow higher on the mountain
fickle weather into april
impact of elevation upon snowfall
lower mountain runs have snowmaking
pacific northwest weather is unpredictable

I know, it’s really early and I shouldn’t obsess. My daughter and I have a 10 day trip planned for Whistler Blackcomb at the end of February. I realize that’s a long way off, and I picked that time of the year hoping to increase the odds of having good snow. This will be her first trip there as...

My daughter and I are planning a trip in 2019. I’ve been to Whistler a couple of times, but I’m a skier and haven’t really paid attention to where snowboarders are having trouble moving along. I’m trying to think of places to avoid where she could end up having to skate along on her snowboard...

I live in Florida...need I say more ;) but man oh man I know its only April 9th but I just know in a few months it will be August and I will be setting my plans for next winter. I didn't get to go this winter so I'm dying here (but I heard this season wasn't the best). I can't wait for next year...

I've always wanted to ski for the best part of a northern winter season
Skiing as many days in a season as possible, within reason, is something I aspire to do.

I could do it at my local mountain in New Zealand but it...

I’ve had the opportunity to visit a bunch of Vail Resorts in North America over the last four years and explore the full gamut of great experiences they offer. However, I’m going to set the tone of this discussion by using the words "Vail" and "frugal" in the same sentence. The Vail galaxy of...
