According to ZRankings, these are the top 15 resorts in North America for the 2020/21 ski season.ย The ranking is based on the Pure Awesomeness Factor, which takes a resort’s terrain, snow profile, town ambiance, ease of travel, lodging base, acreage, continuous vertical, and personal experiences into account and computes a ranking. It may sound like a bogus name for an algorithm, but from what we see, it’s pretty spot-on.

come on…No Squaw or Kirkwood?
Perhaps we could include aspects that actually relate to the 20/21 season specifically to the algorithm, such as there effects of La Nina or modifications to operating plans, due to Covid19, or ???
I suppose all those resorts are existing this season.. so that’s a start hahaha
Telluride getting some love! Park City is not a good mountain, but I get it’s broad appeal
Steam boat and vail and highly over rated. Should of had squaw valley and Breckenridge.
