Brought to you by Ikon Pass

Temperatures are cooling and ski areas all across the USA and Canada are gearing up for their winter season. 10Best, from USAToday, wanted to know which North American ski resorts are the crème de la crème, so they asked a panel of skiing and snowboarding experts to nominate their 20 favorite resorts–mountains that offer serious snowfall, varied terrain, lots of lift access and all the desirable amenities in town. The top 10 winners are then determined by popular vote.
