Well I guess this list is better than in years past....

I think it's much better than most years. There are quite a few areas on the list that are super popular and didn't make the top 10 such as Sunday River, Loon, Okemo, Stratton and Mount Snow which definitely are all lacking in either advanced terrain or natural snowfall.

I've actually been to Holiday Valley. The best things about it are, lake effect snow, and a real town to party in, Ellicottville. As far as the hill goes, meh, 750 ft of vertical, pretty scenic for what it is. Top 5? Put down the crack pipe.:wink:
