12Big Sky, Montana

If you’re looking for the “premier USA skiing experience” this is one of the best places in the country to experience it. Appropriately enough, the mountains are big, the ski lifts are epic, and this sprawling 5,850-acre area gets 33 feet of snow. Because of its size, it is reported to never be crowded.

Many of the ski areas here are low-elevation. They may not offer as much of a challenge to experienced skiers, but they are great for more leisurely skiing. Mind you, another advantage is that you don’t tire as quickly as you would elsewhere, so you’ll be able to ski longer periods of time.  

13.Whiteface Mountain, New York

Considered to be the best place to enjoy an “Olympic-spirited” ski adventure, this was the home of the 1980 Winter Olympics. In terms of size, it is slightly smaller than other top-rated ski resorts in the nation and yet it still manages to be a standout. Its history allows it to easily be a great place for skiers of all skill levels.

Nearly 20 percent of the property is dedicated to beginner skiers. 38 percent is for experienced skiers, and 42 percent is aimed at intermediate skiers. Need more excitement? Take a deep breath and go shooting down the original 1980 Olympic bobsled track.
