I always look forward to the annual SKI magazine that ranks the ski resorts by different criteria, some of which is important to me and some of which is not. I expect that issue to be out in the near future. Until then, I've been thinking about all the places I have been and what I like (and don't like) about them all. Here is a list of my opinions on some of the ski resorts I have been to, based upon the criteria that is important to me. Feel free to add your own rankings.
