What does this mean :blink: I truly don't understand. Someone help me. Do I drive all the way to Buffalo and then south for 8 hours to ski Holiday Valley's 750 feet of vertical, do I drive 3 hrs to Killington, or do I drive 40 minutes to Hunter. H'mm Holday Valley came in 5th and Killington was 8th. Hunter did not make the top 10. I guess I got to drive all the way to Holday Valley because they got the goods according to SKI Magazine and they must know because :puke::puke: :puke: Excuse me I got sick for second. I am ok now. Where was I ? Must not have been important. Oh yes top what ever ski resorts. When Las Vegas gets one of those indoor ski slopes. they will be number one ski resort in America. What are the odds. I wonder if I can bet on that.

" Sugarloaf – location hurts this great mountains appeal to the masses"
That's what I like about the Loaf, it appeals to skiers.

Grassi is right, I believe HV gets around 500,000 skier visits. It's a readers survey so take it anyway you want.
Props to Whiteface and to the Bush for finally making the top ten. It is all about lodging, grooming, service, food and amenities but that is important to alot of people.
