Resorts ranked by size

This is a list of our Top 100 ski resorts ranked by size.  We are using the published number of acres from the resort.  It’s impossible to verify this unless you have the resort master plan documents, so we have to believe the resorts on this one.

* Unfortunately the number one resort on this list Powder Mountain is significantly padding their numbers by including lots of hike-to terrain, and we have no way to find what the real lift-served number is. Having skied there a couple of times, it feels like about 2,000 acres in reality.
