Lone Peak, MT.
We’ve decided to put a small twist on this statistic. The rankings we are
displaying below only reflect the amount of vertical that can be accessed
via a chairlift. No hiking. Just riding chairs and skiing down. This is
more relevant for the highest percentage of skiers in North America, so we
thought we’d allow the numbers to reflect that.
