Do they do any fact checking? Half the stuff on the Mammoth article is inaccurate.

Whistler has way to long lines and wet snow. I would like to see Jackson hole, and beaver creek higher

I've skied 23 of the 40 resorts on this list. I can tell you, I've lived in Steamboat for 27 years, it 's an awesome town, great snow,and lots of cool people, but it's not even close to the 6th best mountain in North America.

wtf determines "best" ski resort? Obviously it's not terrain or snow. This list is for weekend warriors.

Please tell me you're joking. Revelstoke is the farthest thing from gay. They have rails in the town of Revelstoke. They get so much snow, it's steep as fuck and full of everything any big mountain skier could want. Sorry it doesn't appeal to the homophobic 'gangsta' park skiers.

But, but, Tremblant is perfect for my wifey and kids. When my wifey is too cold to ski, there is plenty of shops that sell clothes at amazing prices! Or there is great coffee shops where you can spend your entire day! Did I mention the spas!?

This is probably the criteria they used when ranking the resorts.

As to why I always see threads like these bitching about ski mag & outside, wheres the thread of discussion based on Powder's or Freeskier's mtn/park listings...? That might actually be constructive.
