For the second year in a row, Winter Park Resort has claimed the title of the best ski resort in North America in the USA Today\u2019s reader\u2019s choice competition 10Best.<\/a><\/p>\n

Winter Park Resort beat out twenty other North American ski resorts, including two other Colorado resorts \u2013 Telluride and Copper Mountain \u2013 to be named the best this year.<\/p>\n

That the resort maintained the top spot on the list for two years consecutively<\/a> is made even more impressive considering it didn\u2019t even grace the list two years ago.<\/p>\n

However, Winter Park\u2019s diverse terrain is getting the resort recognized by skiers and riders all over the country. USA Today\u2019s list sites the resort\u2019s seven territories and over 3,000 acres as one of its main draws.<\/p>\n

The resort also continues to work on making it easier and faster to access all of its terrain with continuous updates, including this year\u2019s big project to replace the Sunnyside Lift in the Mary Jane territory with a high-speed six-seater.<\/p>\n

Alterra Mountain Company, Winter Park Resort\u2019s parent company, also had its Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows resort in Olympic Village, California and Crystal Mountain Resort in Enumclaw, Washington rank second and seventh respectively.<\/p>\n

Ikon Pass holders have the chance to visit a few other resorts also on the list, including the No. 4 resort, Revelstoke Mountain in British Columbia, Canada; No. 5 Copper Mountain; and No. 8 Big Sky Resort in Big Sky, Montana.<\/p>\n

So far this season, Winter Park Resort has received around 70 inches of snow and has 17 lifts and 41 trails open<\/a>.<\/p>\n
