Since we are into stereo typing. Based on my experience, New Yorkers have a much higher ratio of going out to entertaining at home than the rest of the North East. If they were to try and impress on their coffee table, it would be with sections from the Sunday times--basically the magazine and book review, and possibly the New Yorker. The Economist is too ubiquitous to have any cache. If they were going to display a ski magazine it would be something European or Powder (now that Couloir is gone).

I live in New York. My ski magazines (SnowJournal, Telemark, Backcountry) are kept where they belong- the bathroom!

Tremblant probably paid a lot of money to be on top of the list! ahaha! Well, it all depend on your point of view but being from this perticular area, I can say that there is way better riding to be done in Mt. Sutton or Massif... But Tremblant has the world class amenities, thanks to Intrawest.

I don't think I've ever seen a Tremblant ad in Ski. And, if advertising revenue were the benchmark then Whistler should win top ski resort honors every year. The advertising fold-out they have in almost every issue looks like a small book.

Doesn't Whistler win top ski resort a lot?

Whenever I read something about skiing resorts in magazines, it always seems that Whistler is always top resort.

Last I checked Whistler is not in the East.

One major disappointment I had with this years Resort Guide is the reduction from top 50 down to top 30.

20 fewer areas to read about, means a shorter lifespan for the magazine in the bathroom.
