And the winners are . . .

i haven't been to Butternut in several years, i am surprised to see it top the list of small mountains.

Honestly I don't put much stock into popularity polls like this. Reason being that the resort that gets the most skiers/riders who complete surveys wins.

That said, weird that Sugarbush and Stowe are not in the top 10 big mountains. Neither is Jay Peak (see what I mean). Sunday River and Sugarloaf did well.

WF only gets about 200,000 skier visits a season. They must all answer Snow East's survey....twice. :roll:

As Riv said in another thread, it seems that the State of Maine did well.

Anyone ski Bristol before? seems like the people who took this survey liked it quite a bit.

ski it? i've never heard of it.

 

[deadheadskier]

Once.......the place sucks. It's only an 1 1/2 hr drive for me and wouldn't even give it any thought. Rather make the 4-5 hr dirve to VT

WTF, Butternut is the best resort under 1100 feet?? Wow.

As TrailBoss said it's all about what resorts push the poll. I take no stock in these polls. Never even heard of Bristol Mountain, NY.....

Typical gaper poll...

A lot of people don't like the same things I do.

We should do our own AZ poll sometime.....

Interesting that in CNH Gunstock swept Sunapee in Snowmaking and Grooming.. Not sure if that reflects reality since I haven't been to Gunstock in awhile. Typically Sunapee is highly rated for those things in these types of polls.

I guess the Sundown gang forgot to vote or Snow East Magazine has better distribution in Southington

any credibility this had was just lost.. southington over sundown is one thing but woodbury over mohawk? come on....

The snowmaking capacity and grooming improvements this past season at Gunstock were very noticeable, even major .. Gunstock is moving in the right direction on this front. I renewed my season pass for next season.

The mighty Yawgoo received a gold medal for Rhode Island! Stiff competition I tell you! :lol:

People don't always enjoy the same things as others.

More at 11:00

Apparently Berkshire East doesn't exist. It may have gotten screwed out of the "Under 1100 feet" category because of an old claim of over 1100 vertical feet, which it doesn't have. But it isn't even listed under Massachusetts.

 

[WakeboardMom]

I was happy to see Bretton Woods and Gunstock listed under most scenic. Whoever decided these winners was spot-on with those two. : - )
