Deer Valley Named Best Resort By Ski Magazine

Deer Valley, Snowbird and Alta all rank well in Ski Magazine's new list of top ski resorts. Media around the world are reporting on the new rankings. Here's excerpts from The Canadian Press:

Ski Magazine is just out with its annual 'Top 50 Resort Guide,' which names Deer Valley, Utah, as the No. 1 ski resort in North America. Deer Valley was No. 2 in last year's survey, and has won first place three times in the survey's 20-year history.

Deer Valley also received top honours from Ski readers in the categories of service, grooming and dining. Other Utah resorts that were No. 1 in various categories included Snowbird, voted 'Best Skier's Mountain,' and Alta, voted top 'Weekend Escape.'

Nearly 7,000 Ski Magazine subscribers took part in the 'Top 50 Resort Guide' survey.

"Utah's resorts work really hard to provide the best ski experience available," said Nathan Rafferty, Ski Utah president, "I’m happy to see our success recognized on so many different levels. It is becoming more and more apparent to skiers and riders everywhere that The Greatest Snow On Earth is being complemented by the world’s greatest resorts."

SKI Magazine's resort ranking is considered one of the foremost rankings in the industry. "SKI readers are an astute, not to mention well-traveled, bunch and their consensus is convincing," says SKI Magazine’s executive editor Greg Ditrinco. "You’d do well to consider them advance scouts as you plan this year’s ski vacation. They won't let you down."
