It can't be snowfall these days. Maybe if it were 1960, it would, but with snowmaking, a good portion of the terrain can be open even when there isn't natural snow. It can't be vertical either. I love high verticals, but it's really about the skiable experience itself, and how does a vertical influence the skiable experience? It also can't be steep terrain. Jiminy Peak has steep terrain, but nothing is interesting there which is why I don't like it there. Catamount on the other hand, has only one steep trail, but the overall terrain is more interesting than Jiminy's terrain which is why I like Catamount more than Jiminy. With that just said, interesting terrain is the winner.
