For the next ten days we are going to be counting down to the best overall mountain.

How do you know which mountain to choose? There are so many factors to consider. With a little help we pulled together the top ten resorts and compared amenities, rated and ranked them.

Our highly classified and statistically quantum-stringed, seven-sigma analysis ranked the following characteristics that may or may not have been pulled out of a hat.

Snow Quality
Scenery
Accomodations
Terrain Parks
Lift System
Dining and Apres-Ski
Accessibility
Ski Runs
Ski School and Instruction
Costs

At the end we will post a comparison chart so you don’t have to do the math.

I highly advise taking a Ferris Bueller approach to analysis. As described by Grace in the office “Oh, he’s very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads – they all adore him. They think he’s a righteous dude.” In other words, you are a different person depending on the mountain you are on. Go try on many. I’ve had five-star experiences at hole in the walls-and-massively overpaid for what turned out to be utter crap. All to say that this is opinion and not definitive.

Starting with Number 10, with an 6.6 average, we arrive in Utah at Alta.
