For the last five years, Skiing has ranked resorts according to your input. We send your survey results to a statistics company that - and we hope they're reading this - takes us to the cleaners just to process them. We take the pain because we want to know what you think. And thou hath spoken. This year, you've chosen your favorite overall mountain, as well as backcountry access, steeps, trees, park, powder, apres, and eastern resort. And we've added a few of our favorites. Welcome to Skiing's inaugural Resort Awards.
Top Resorts
(Know that readers like you chose the winners for the following categories. So if you think the results are completely off base, well, you have no one but yourself to blame.)

You've been doing this for five years but these are the inaugural awards--I don't understand.
Skiing Magazine has done a best resorts list in the past five years, but this year they are calling different resorts out for different traits- and giving them awards.
