Hold on to your butts, powder hounds: Freaking Alabama has a ski resort (they currently have a zero inch base and also offer golf and horse riding). Wisconsin has 24 ski resorts to Wyoming’s eight. Think Colorado has the most ski resorts? Not even close–New York has the most, and Michigan has the second-most.
I know this because blogger Steve Casimiro over at The Adventure Life did what we were too lazy to do and compiled a list of both websites and snow reports for all the ski resorts in the U.S.
Out of 481 total resorts, only a few have zero presence on the web, and
most offer snow reports. Unless you have a hankering for a particularly
obscure mom-and-pop operation, you can pop over to the page Steve so
generously compiled and figure out exactly what conditions are like
with one click.
I imagine this’ll also be a fantastic resource for eccentric
billionaires, who can cruise for the best snow conditions in the
country, jump onto their private helicopter/hovercraft, and jet to the
resort of their choice each weekend. Lucky for us indigent peeps,
there’s a good chance it’ll be in our backyard.
