Description of the mountain: 
Ranked #1 for access and in the Top Ten Best in the East in SKI Magazine’s 2010 Reader Resort Survey, Loon Mountain has invested $20 million in the past five years to add additional terrain, uphill capacity, and state-of-the-art snowmaking and grooming technology, and continues its commitment to a great guest experience today. The most recent $1.4 million investment added four new trails and 160 additional Low-E tower snow guns, some of the latest grooming technology, to this east coast skiing mecca.

With breathtaking 360-degree views of the Maroon Bells and an abundance of expert terrain as well as groomed cruisers, it’s no wonder Aspen Highlands has been the locals’ favorite for over 50 years. Hike the 12,392 feet to the summit of Highland Bowl for the ultimate inbounds backcountry rush. Or take the Deep Temerity lift to access the recently-added 237 skiable acres. It all adds up to some of the most challenging big-mountain terrain in North America.

Brighton claims to be a "no-frills" resort whose sole business is to
provide skiers and snowboarders with top-notch trails. While it does
provide lodging, dining and shopping, the extent of the facilities
does not make Brighton what is typically seen as a destination ski
resort. Most Brighton skiers and riders are Utah locals. Most visitors
do not stay at Brighton-run lodging; many visitors stay in the greater
Salt Lake area, many of whom also plan trips to other area ski resorts.

Buttermilk built its 50-year legacy on wide-open and gently rolling trails that cater to beginners and families. Today it’s famous for hosting the ESPN Winter X Games through 2012 and being voted #1 by Transworld Snowboarding Magazine Reader’s Poll for best park. The 22-foot superpipe in the legendary terrain park does not disappoint, as many X Games winners, Olympians and up-and-comers can attest.
