Taking into account both the overall length of slopes and number of ski lifts available to visitors, the largest ski resort in the US for you to explore is Park City in Utah (which was also our number 1 resort overall!), with 820,210ft of slopes and 39 ski lifts.

While it opened back in 1963, Park City took its place as the country’s largest ski resort in 2014 when it was purchased by Vail Resorts, who combined the existing resort with the neighboring Canyons Resort, connecting the two via gondola.

Out of all of our top 100 resorts, the cheapest for a day pass on the slopes was Lost Trail Powder Mountain, on the Montana-Idaho border, where you can enjoy a day’s skiing for just $46.

Considering neighboring resorts such as Big Sky charge $169, and at the very top end, Vail and Beaver Creek charge as much as $219, that’s a pretty good deal!

Looking at reviews from Skiresort.info, which takes into account a wide range of factors such as variety of runs, slope preparation, apres-ski offerings and much more, the highest rated resort in the country was Vail, Colorado.

Vail is one of the biggest resorts in the US and the flagship resort of Vail Resorts, with three main sections, including Blue Sky Basin, which features seven bowls.
