Freeskier magazine just ranked the top 5 ski resorts on a powder day.  We must say that we mostly agree with this list.  For us, the top 5 zones for freeskiing in North America are Tahoe, Utah, Jackson, & Whistler.  Interior B.C. should get a mention here, though.  We would replace Heavenly with Revelstoke…

  1. Obviously skier density were not figured into this equation. What a joke! I can think of 15 other hills that are better on pow days!!

  2. Heavenly? Hahaha…how about Kicking Horse? Or Revy like you mentioned? Or Fernie?

    There are tons of places that make Heavenly pale in comparison.

Got an opinion? Let us know...
