One of the best things about skiing and snowboarding in the United States is that no matter where you are, a world-class resort or noteworthy ski hill is probably not too far away. You may go skiing in the Northeast in the Presidential Range, Appalachians, and Adirondacks. World-class skiing can be found in the Rockies, Sierra Nevada, and Cascades in the West. Even in the Midwest, there are plenty of great hills to practise your talents on.

The hardest part about choosing where to go is that there are more than 470 resorts scattered out over the United States. To assist with that, we've put up a list of our favourite skiing and snowboarding resorts, choosing the top locations around the nation to get your shred on. We all want to make the most of our time on the snow because winter is a short season.

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (Wyoming)

It is simple to understand why Jackson Hole is consistently ranked among the top resorts not just in the United States but also the entire world with an average yearly snowfall of more than 450 inches. This is not a place for beginners because of the steep and tricky terrain that it is known for. However, experienced skiers will like exploring all that this resort has to offer, including some of its heart-pounding runs and adrenaline-pumping drops.

Telluride Ski Resort (Colorado)

It's difficult to decide which aspect of Telluride—its superb skiing or its breathtaking scenery—is better. The resort's picturesque setting in the heart of the Rocky Mountains boasts some of the greatest and most reliable snow in all of North America, guaranteeing fantastic skiing and riding on each and every visit. Advanced skiers will find a lot to love in this location, but beginners will also find much to enjoy. Although getting to Telluride requires some work, those who do make the trek will agree that it was well worth it.
