The ski vacation has evolved substantially from the no frills mountain adventures most common in the 1970s and 80s. All resorts across Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming have been in a quiet race to craft the perfect vacation experience.
Ski resorts have expanded the overall size and quality of their facilities, increased levels of service, and focused on the quality of their restaurants and shopping. Ski Magazine readers consistently rate Vail in Vail, Colorado and Deer Valley in Park City, Utah as the #1 and #2 resorts in the U.S.A. and Canada. Vail Resort held the #1 spot in 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2006. Deer Valley Resort won the honors in 2008, 2007, 2005, and 2001.
