RidgeRacer Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I know. It's the same story every year. The magazines never seem to agree with us but regardless the resort rankings are here (skiing magazine's anyway) which normally means that ski season is right around the corner.

Erin808 Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Good...keep people away I don't think Aspen is hurting for people. It's just not a crowd that would rely on the Skiing Mag ranking to determine where to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride Delaware ? Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 More like its for good reading and discussion, but I frankly don't give a shit what a bunch of editors say... However, I still find it interesting that Snowshoe has been consistently making this list... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan- Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I think Snowshoe consistently makes the list due to a High number of skier visits, high average snowfall and alot of resort amenities. I'm surprised Sugarbush isn't in the top ten in the east. I think it's wrong to hate on Aspen if you've never been there. I've never been there mainly due to logistics. Whats so hard about the logistics of aspen. You have to get on two planes, the same thing you have to do to get to Jackson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRacer Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 cant belive iceface made the list... granted it was #10... but still So with stratton and snowshoe in the top 10 and killington at #2 your gripe is with whiteface being in it? Sorry but whiteface easily belongs in that list and higher than 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sibhusky Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) Well, if you go to the SKI magazine link, you'll see the comments are from 2009. Also, if you go to Epic, you'll see a link from there to YOUR link. That link is from 2009. This year's reviews will be titled 2011.
