How we picked
Colorado holds the highest concentration of marquee American ski resorts in one state, all above 2 100 m of base altitude. Vail leads with its 7 Back Bowls and Bavarian-style mid-mountain village; Aspen Snowmass spreads four mountains and an old-money town around its base; Breckenridge tops out at the highest in-bounds lift in the US; Telluride hides in the most dramatic box canyon setting in the country; Beaver Creek polishes its luxury; Steamboat brings the ranching town and the Champagne Powder.
