Nat Geo list Best ski Towns

[Bad Bob]

Found this today and thought it would be a great way to stir-up Pugski a bit while we all (or at least most of us) wait for snow.

If anybody knows "Places" it ought to be National Geographics. Here are their picks for best ski towns. Have been to most of the North American selections and agreed with a lot of what they are saying and would be glad to do the happily ever after in most of them. They did not do an order; which is good, that is very personally subjective.

Like the Jimmy Buffet song says,'I don't know where I'm a gonna go when the volcano blows'; any of these would seem to work just fine (other than Bend, but that is another story, She who must be obeyed is a big NO on that one).

Get to it, where do you love?

Direct link to the Nat Geo page, rather than Unofficial's take on it :

That Unofficial story is, like a ton of their stuff, recycled from at least 2014. (Does this drive anyone else crazy or just me?)

And mysteriously that Nat Geo link is sending me to a contents page of some kind:

Weird... the Nat Geo link works for me on multiple browsers. It says the content was published in October 2017 too, BTW.

I've gotten to it in Chrome desktop mode. One of those darn slide show articles that you have to click through.

Dislike those too, but sure do like the places.

As I said, the article is really old. The Whitefish write up says the resort was "newly rechristened". (That was in 2007.) Also, the local in question my daughter was dating when the article was released and that was ages back, roughly 2010-12-ish. I've found articles pointing to that article that are dated as early as 2012. Amazingly, all those recommendations are for businesses still in existence, tho.

Don't know where the picture shown for Ketchum come from. It certainly isn't Bald Mountqain, maybe backcountry.

Those lists are click bait at best...

Nice reading, but it must be dated or they compiled the article from old sources.

They still have the Blake’s as owning Taos, the family sold it back in 2013. For better (or some around here would say worse) Taos is a different place today.

Tremblant beat out Whistler....must be old.
