Ranking the highest on the worldwide list was Vail Resort, which also ranked as the top resort in North America and the top resort for snowboarders worldwide. The variety of trail difficulty, stunning scenery, and ample après ski options were all noted as reasons behind Vail Resort’s strong performance in the ranking.
Colorado’s Aspen Snowmass also performed well enough across ranking categories to be included on the world’s ‘top 50’ list, ranking 23rd overall. Aspen Snowmass also got a nod as the 2nd best resort worldwide for advanced skiers.
The best countries for ski resorts worldwide were all found in Europe, with Austria, France, and Switzerland rounding out the three with the most resorts in the top 50. The United States ranked fourth, with 8 ski resorts included in that ranking.
