    "Top 10" resorts poll

    So the Ski magazine poll for top 10 resorts just came out, and Colorado got six with Utah at two. And of course these types of polls usually suck, and yes it is Ski magazine. Looks like the winners generally had towns associated with them. The poll was for "resorts" and not "ski areas". Anyway, thought I'd throw this one to the wolves.

    Personally not very happy with CO's winners, but hey.

    Any resort where Deer Valley is in the top 10, let alone 1st, is automatically disqualified. Thanks for playing.

    I like the fact that Jackson is not on that list.
    Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn.

    Thank goodness Beaver Creek and Steamboat made it - they're so often overlooked

    Well, at least this made their ski reviews look good. Hard to imagine.

    Samuel or Hole? If it's the latter, it's located in Wyoming.

    Ski magazine isnt even about skiing. Its about where you should go to spend your spare money at a resort where you will be treated like a king, and you might possible ski a couple groomers while you're there. I mean, don't they do SUV reviews in that magazine?

    What are you kidding! Jackson Hole can't hang with the big boys! Their room service, ice skating rink, fine dining, day care, and valets can not come anywhere close to the badasses of Deer Valley, Vail, Snowmass, Aspen, Beaver Creek, ect., ect. ect. You name me ONE, just ONE, 5 star chief at Jackson! I dare you! See you can't, you know why??? Because all Jackson is about is powder, vertical, and steeps as if premium coffee and a good turn down service aren't their equals.

    Maybe this was all a joke, and they'll come up with their real list soon.

    Did anyone ever see one of Ski's "rating cards"? I'm ashamed to admit that I've subscribed for a while, and I've never seen one.

    DV #1 - get used to it.

    I worked at Brian Head, UT for several years and every time these stoopid polls come out our owner would freak out over BH not being on the list, and that as the marketing guy I wasn't doing my job.

    If you've ever skied there, you're laughing right now.

    Funny, those are the top ten resorts I'd recomend people avoid, other than maybe Whistler, and really, I could name 10 resorts in interior BC that I'd pick before WB.
