How the SKI & Outside Magazine rankings work.

Every year Outside Magazine and SKI Magazine release an annual ski resort guide that is based on the results of their Readers' Resort Survey. The annual guide consists of 15 categories that evaluate the guest experience at each resort. These categories include lifts, parking, access, value, grooming, guest services, snow quality, dining, local flavor, safety, and more. Over the years, Snowbasin has consistently been ranked in the top 10 of these categories, resulting in our No.1, No.2, and No.3 rankings.

How the USA TODAY 10Best rankings work.

The USA TODAY 10Best Rankings are a little different. USA TODAY has a panel of experts and 10Best editors that hand-pick ski resorts from across the United States and Canada, based on the best snowfall, varied terrain, lift access, and more, before being voted on by the public. Following a top 20 resort bid from a panel of experts and USA TODAY 10Best editors, we were voted the No. 1 ski resort across the U.S. and Canada by the people two years running.
