BEST IN SKI : 2023

What a difference a year makes !
When we last surveyed the ski season landscape less than a year ago , resorts struggled to open during a pandemic , Covid restrictions loomed large , dismal snowfall plagued nearly every ski destination , and uncertainty reigned supreme .
This year is a different tale altogether .
Covid restrictions have ended , travel is normalizing , and a bountiful series of storms have blanketed America ’ s ski destinations — particularly those in the West . There ’ s been so much snowfall that many were obliged to open early .
As the 2023 ski season kicks into high gear , we review six of the most popular ski resorts in the Western Region to illustrate what ’ s new , where things stand after a rocky couple of years , and what continues to work at some of the nation ’ s most beloved ski resorts .
