For years, Ski magazine has been able to stir up emotions among ski town resident by publishing their annual resort rankings. For decades, the top position has been circulated between Deer Valley, Vail and Whistler-Blackcomb until this season, when little Jackson Hole, Wyoming grabbed the highest sport to (most) everyone's surprise.
In fact, Ski had to refresh its rankings in order, if anything, to placate advertisers. It's not that Jackson offers easy access, far from it. It's almost in the middle of nowhere. Not either that this resort town offers the kind of terrain 95% of all destination visitors look for. For the most part it's steep, faces the East and can only boast an impressive vertical drop for North America. As far as the ambiance and extra activities go, don't expect too much in the cowboy town.
So why was it voted number one? Beats me! I just surmise the voting was rigged or Ski magazine readership is getting so thin, that if your grandmother were to vote it would affect the results tremendously. As for my predictions for next year number one? Crested Butte, Colorado!
