Deer Valley & Park City #1

Each year, Ski Magazine asks his readers to vote for the best ski resort in North America; the publication mails out a survey to about 25,000 readers asking them to rank ski areas in 18 categories (from skiing to restaurants and other amenities,) and each year gets between 5,000 and 8,000 completed responses back. The results appear in the October edition that’s on sale this week. Park City received top honors with one of its resorts, Deer Valley, ranked first, Park City Mountain Resort moving from 6th to 5th and The Canyons going from 18th to 13th place! What follows is Ski’s ranking of the top 10 American and Canadian resorts:
# 1. Deer Valley
# 2. Vail, Colo.
# 3. Whistler/Blackcomb, B.C.
# 4. Snowmass, Colo.
# 5. Park City Mountain Resort
# 6. Beaver Creek, Colo.
# 7. Aspen, Colo.
# 8. Steamboat, Colo.
# 9. Breckenridge, Colo.
# 10. Telluride, Colo.
According to Ski Magazine "people are looking for more than just putting skis on snow. They’re looking for the full resort experience," and that’s where Park City's three resorts shine. It's as much about going downtown as skiing; Park City provides a wide variety of activities, that along with the city's vibrant Main Street are ‘as good as it gets’."
It’s also the fourth time in the last eight years the Ski Magazine's readers have put Deer Valley on top. The resort edged out one of its fiercest competitors, Vail Resort for the second year in a row. All this makes us very proud to live in Park City!
