This list will surely change as ski resorts begin to merge and develop. Many resorts are building new lifts and gondolas to increase the number of skiable acres people have access to. Squaw Valley, for example, is in the process of creating a gondola that connects with Alpine Meadows, which would bring the resort to over 6,200 skiable acres. This would put the resort within the top 4 of this list.
It will be exciting to see how this list changes in the next decade.
1 – Powder Mountain, UT
8,464 Skiable Acres
*If cat skiing wasn’t included in the skiable acreage total, Powder Mountain would sit at 7,900 Skiable Acres, which would put Powder Mountain just below Whistler Blackcomb on the list.

The word Squaw has been removed from the English language. Please use less offensive racial slurs…

Someone forgot about Revelstoke!!! At 10,000 acres, you would think that it would be listed!!
According to their own website, they have 3,121-acres of terrain: https://www.revelstokemountainresort.com/resort/mountain-statistics
Where is Powder Mountain? This list seems inaccurate.
