With the exception of a couple, this video should be renamed ‘Top 15 ski resorts we THINK are the MOST beautiful, but actually just googled it”
They certainly liked the "Black Bowls" at Vail. More than the "nearby Steamboat Springs". Nearby?
LOL Aspen #1? Lake Louise in Alberta Canada is regularly ranked as the most beautiful ski resort in North America. Sunshine Village in Alberta Canada is highly ranked too. Where is Zermatt or St Anton?
I was thinking the same thing. I especially like Sunshine because the gondola takes you deep in the backcountry on the great divide so all you see is beautiful mountains and not a road or highway in site.
Or even Telluride.
He wasn’t even arguing about beauty and was instead bringing up arguments like trails, difficulty, FIS, and more. If that was the case then he chose the wrong Colorado resort as Vail-Beaver Creek beats out Aspen-Snowmas in most of those aspects and is also in the white river National forest. This guy obviously hasn’t skied much or put much effort into this video.
Just shhhhhh and let them all go to aspen!
@Janitor Queen lake Louise has better terrain and sunshine has better snow. If both places get snowed at the same time, I'd go to Louise.
I pray who ever sees this be successful in life ❤ 🙏
What about Grand Targhee?? Skiing right below the Tetons while overlooking all of Eastern Idaho... Much more beautiful than Vail, Park City, or Aspen
Oh, you done been to all these them thar places.......? Wow.
Jacksohole??
You sound like someone who’s skid all over the U.S. Only big mountains I’ve been to are Brighton, Snowbird, Alta, Utah. As well as Breckenridge, Colorado. I have to say snowbird was hands down the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen with my eyes. What are some must go to resorts in the U.S (excluding the west as far as California goes), I am much more interested in heading East.
@@miloman812 if you’re a good skier head to Taos and you’ll have a ton of fun
I agree. One of the most distinct/gorgeous views in skidom. I also really like Lee Canyon. Where else can you see the floor of a desert valley while carving some sweet fluffy turns?
You heard it right here guys. Mt.buller is more beatiful than Chamonix, the Arlberg and Zermatt. Facts...
Exactly like what in the hell is this list lmao
It's the BACK Bowls! Not the BLACK Bowls of Vail. Need to get your info correct. Oh and by the way, there is no way that Park City is any where near as beautiful as any of the lower ranked Alps ski resorts!
How is Heavenly in Tahoe not on here? It may not be my favorite mountain to snowboard but it certainly is way more beautiful than Vail, Park City or Aspen Snowmass.
@@howarddamico1237 if get a chance check out Snowmass. Amazing mountain with great terrain. That general area also love Beaver Creek, some epic tree runs. Telluride haven't been but everyone who has raves about it. Definitely on bucket list.
Yeah I'd put Heavenly above everything they named in the US. Telluride is beautiful. The back side of Mammoth with the view of the Minarets & Eastern Sierras is unreal as well.
Very strange that Zermatt/Cervinia is not on the list.
The view from Testa Grigia arguably best in the world with Matterhorn dominating the landscape
Agree!!! Zermatt not not only on the list but definitely n1.
15: Levi - Finland
14: Alpbach - Austria
13: Niseko - Japan
12: Wengen - Switzerland
11: Whistler Blackcomb - Canada
10: Courcheval - France
9: Vail - Colorado
8: Saas Fee - Switzerland
7: Park City - Utah
6: Cerro - Argentina
5: Megeve - France
4: Mount Buller - Australia
3: Val d'Isere - France
2: Cortina -d'Apezzeo - Italy
1: Aspen - Colorado
The title of the video is about "Most BEAUTIFUL ski mountains". Banff's Sunshine Village and Lake Louise ski area in the heart of the Canadian Rockies would be contenders for spots 1 and 2. The views are most stunning.
@Janitor Queen Thanks for your comments. I went last February. Local people said things similar to what you wrote. However, it turned out that Lake Louise had better snow than Sunshine when I went, and the locals agreed. So it varies. Also, Lake Louise base is indeed lower than Sunshine Village, but about the same altitude as Sunshine base, and Sunshine base did not have good snow. All four main Alberta ski hills (Sunshine, Lake Louise, Norquay, Marmot basin) have a base near 1700 m. This year Marmot basin had fantastic snow, much better than normal according to local people, and I had great snow there.
I LOVE THESE IT WILL BE COOL IF YOU DO ONE ABOUT SPACE PLS
For beauty, comparing the Rockies to the Alps is like comparing spray paint to the Mona Lisa. Zermatt, Chamonix, Les Tois Vallees, Verbier, Les Arc, etc blow away anything in the US. Only US resort that can even bementioned is Jackson Hole. For snow, the dry powder in Utah is probably the best in the world.
Canadian Rockies ( the REAL ROCKIES) and the other ranges to the left of it are just as beautiful as the Swiss Alps. The only thing is there is not a mega resort in the area.
The San Juans in Colorado are every bit as stunning as the Alps....I dont get the long dick contest here....its all awesome!!
Being American it hurts to agree about the beauty. I certainly would never include Vail because it is so planned and prepackaged. I would also place Breck over Jackson; both are authentic western towns but Breck the town is at the base while Jackson is 20 minutes away. Never skied the Alps, though. Really want to. Now that I have the time and money travel to Europe seems like a bet these days. And totally agree about Utah powder; skied at Alta once during a dump and it was insane.
Or apples to oranges:)
Dolomites are the best
What about “The Remarkables” in New Zealand?????
Thanks for the suggestian!
talking about Cortina d'Ampezzo, consider it the "Dolomiti Superski" area, with combined over 1000km of ski runs. Also dont forget if staying at Cortina, to check out the Sellaronda and Val Gardena.
Also you should have mentioned Zermatt
Bruh no Telluride? really?
Was thinking the same thing. IMO, alot more beautiful than Aspen.
No Lake Louise and Sunshine Village. What a joke of a list.
San Jauns are badass! Wolfcreek too! Its all good as far as I am concerned.
Vail's back bowls not black bowls
cool video. I like to see these videos and have decided to try and made some videos for my self. keep up the good work
Can you do one about top 15 best planes in the world
15 Most Beautiful Ski Resorts and you didn't Rank Zermatt and one town of the Sella Ronda???
nah mate, he was gonna but had to choose between mt.buller and Zermatt lol.
Aspen #1, the most commercialized, tourist trap LOL
What about Whitefish, Montana?
Overall an interesting video, but it seems to mix "beautiful resorts" with "best ski resorts". Wengen and Saas-Fee are beautiful, but for ski there are many better resorts in Switzerland (Zermatt, St-Moritz and Verbier to name but a few). Only one Austrian resort? What about St-Anton, Soelden, Kitzbuehl? Park City has "Alpine beauty"? Not at all, Utah's scenery is as different as Venus is from Mars when compared to the Alps. Nice to include resorts in Finland, Argentina and Australia, but none of these should seriously figure in any top 100 in the world. On your list, the only ones deserving both beauty and skiing quality are Whistler, Courchevel and Val d'Isere, and maybe, just maybe Cortina. The rest is either beautiful but not great to ski (Megeve for example) or great to ski but not beautiful (Aspen, Vail).
Currently being from Utah, Alta and Snowbird are better than Park City. They get better quality snow and more of it. Little Cottonwood Canyon where they’re located is a magnet for the deep powder. Plus the terrain is better for cheaper prices.
Snow is just as good on the San Jauns and Idaho
For sure.
Supprised norway wasn't on here
Saas Fe is the video clip. It is titled Sestriere.
Am I the only one, who is not even finding Aspen‘s mountain ranges stunning. At least not from the pictures.
I’m surprised Utah wasn’t on here
Bruh it showed big sky resort in utah
Park City it was I believe
@@justinklenk yeeeee my b lol park city was correct i had big sky on my mind lol
Oh lol I must have skipped it, while I was watching I was skipping to see if park city was on there I must have went past it 😓🤦🏼
@@shotgunkeith01 Big Sky ain't in Utah my friend. It's in Montana.
Missed crystal mountain
Why not crested butte
At Saas Fee +/- 20 years ago, was talking to a German teen, who faced the glaciated wall on my right (behind my head as I talked). I watched his eyes "explode" with no clue why, then heard the most incredible "WHOOOOOM!" ~ turned and saw a geyser(!) of snow:
I'd missed (his words) a chunk of blue ice "larger than a school bus" had cracked off the glacier, fell into the snow 400m away, and disappeared(!!!) ~ I missed the show.
Also took the funniest fall there ~ doing huge Super-G turns on a piste two football fields wide, me and another German collided (him = same rhythm), but only our inside boots collided, and we each knocked off the other's inside ski!
We slid about 200m ~ side by side, laughing... "Du bist okay?"
"Ja, ich bin okay..."
😎😘😂😂
Then some wacky French guy came down with our two skis, yelling some bullçhit about how "we ought to be more careful in future!"
Great area, village, pizza (in resto with woman head chef 🍕❤️❄️)
Highly recommended 🎄☃️⛄
It's the valley next over south from Zermatt...
For Park City they were using Deer Valley's Stien Way Trail 😂.
My personal #1 is whistler. You can’t beat the views, the run length, the super sketchy alpine terrain. The village is great too.
At 8:25 +/- narrator says "the Black Bowls" ~ incorrect; they've always been called "The Back Bowls" (former resident (moi) ~ 1979-1991 and 2010-13)
😎❄️❄️❄️😎
No Zermatt?
I think Breckenridge is better then Vail or Aspen
What about Kyrgyz Republic ?
What about chile 🇨🇱??????
Laax……..?
I have been to many of those locations.. Whoever made this video obviously doesn’t know what they are doing. They just copy and paste. Lake Tahoe has 13 different mountains that beat almost all on ur funny list.
YES IM 3RD
bro put aspen Colorado as #1…..
After living in CO in a historic mountain town I can tell you Vail IS NOT WORTH THE HYPE. It gives a cool feel. But true skiers can find better resorts. Not to mention on the front side you can see and hear I70 highway. Blue sky is the spot if you are on that mountain.
honestly, other parks like brighton and snowbird in utah are a far better option. good parks, night skiing, and a far cheaper price can easily be more preferred to than a “great view”. i went to brighton recently in march and there was still about 100 inches of snow on any part of the mountain. and for my first time ever seeing the rockies, the drive to brighton from downtown salt lake was one of the most breathtaking drives of my life. and before i even decided on brighton, my sister recommended i should go to vail, so i checked the prices. definately not worth it if you don’t have any snow gear. and almost $500 for a single day lift ticket is literally theft. and my only problem with brighton was there wasn’t a village (technically) next to the mountain. but was some of the most fun snowboarding i ever experienced, and i barely even touched stuff past the beginner trails.
Oh nooo, you can see and hear I70, wah wah wah
@@glennkovacs1328 🤣🤣🤣 yeah small thing to complain about but when a day ticket cost 225 its not worth it. if you want to spend dumb money in a ski town go to aspen. better skiing more mountain access and a better night life. if you want good skiing on the epic pass vail still isn't the move since you have Beaver creek, Breck, Keystone, Crested Butte and Telluride. which apart from better skiing also has better activities off the mountain. But you should keep going to Vail so we can all enjoy the better resorts.
@@LeanBackMac go to beaver creek and be extra af😂
Beaver Creek is way better than Vail. Unfortunately, Vail has name recognition that's why people want to go at least once.
Vail …. Back Bowls not black bowls
Hello
Sestriere is in Italy not Switzerland
:)
Miniaturka Saas fee
if you're comming here to find the best place to take a selfie then don't go to any of these places
That Finnish resort looks weak! Pretty but weak
Sun Valley Idaho can compete with the Alps for views and scenery.
Boyyyyyyyyy you better have Steamboat on there oh and Snowbird. There are many small ski villages in N America far prettier than most of your 15
To whoever compiled that list, what were you smoking when you did up the list?

Mt. Elbrus is the best
Aspen and Vail are two of the most boring looking resorts I can think of anywhere in the US, Heavenly easily beats them for scenery, has better terrain than either of those over hyped places as well.
Why did this guy even attempt to produce this?
Should be renamed the 15 most exploited resorts in the world, skied most on the list and coming from Australia you put Mt Buller on the list - seriously? lol that's just a dump, Mt Hotham just next door beats Mt Buller hands down, and of course Lake Louise, Fernie, BC (nobody seems to have picked this one up in the comments below) although Wengen deserves to be on the list, not so much for the resort itself as much as getting there from Interlaken is stunning, and of course so many others in the Alps, Swiss, French, Italian, Austrian. Someone mentioned Remarkables in NZ but really Treble Cone overlooking Lake Wanaka is much more beautiful.
Clueless ... especially on North America. Aspen, Vail and PC are greatness, but for beauty... not close. Jackson, Targhee and Snowbird are more beautiful ... also perhaps the Tahoe hills.
And no Zermatt? WTF?
calling vail beautiful is a strech.
You should go to the back bowls and take a look.
@@jimshorts5970 tbh I enjoyed Loveland more than vail and thought views were better.
@@Zack.G23 I like Loveland too but 1800 acres vs 5300 is no comparison for variety, tree skiing, all the great bowls, and blue sky basin. Views are views. Pretty much great views at every Rky Mtn resort.
I guess it depends on what you mean by "beautiful".
To the 1 person reading this: *"You're* *cool* *and *adorable* *stay* *safe"* ,,.
All the ones in the US shouldn’t be on this list
Bull crap. NOTHING from Canada? No Whistler Blackcomb, Lake Louise, or anything here. BS.
5:23 bruh
Your joking right??
I'm surprised you left your comment on here. Lmao
D'oh!
I know Canadians who had just skied Canada,told them to try Europe so they went to Austria, they never ski north America any more as they said European skiing is one big party.
Vail, Aspen, Park City, Saas Fee, Megeve, Val d'Isère ~ 6 of 15 isn't shabby 😍
⛷️⛷️⛷️⛷️⛷️⛷️
Places I've been, that I would include:
ZERMATT! how was this not number 1? A 5,000+ ft vertical drop? Three peaks? Over the ridge and down into Cervinia for lunch?
Les Portes du Soleil(!!) ~ Morzine, Avoriaz, Les Gets, France and Châtel, Suisse ~ the largest interconnected set of mountains in Europe, if not the world (I thought)...
