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

*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.
