The "EST" ski resorts in categories (North America)

You can define largest in several ways: largest vertical drop, uphill lift capacity, highest elevation or most skiable acres (on 1 lift pass). I will rank the top 7 (because 2 on the list are on a combined lift pass) using the last method as it seems to be the best way to relay the largness of a resort, and I'll include other statistics.

1. Whistler Blackcomb (British Columbia, Canada) - 8,171 Acres - Highest Elevation 7,494 ft. - Vertical drop 5,200 ft.
2. Big Sly/Moonlight Basin (Montana, USA) - 5,512 Acres on a combined lift pass (Big Sky 3,812 ft./Moonlight Basin 1,700 ft.) - Highest Elevation 11,166 ft. - Vertical drop 4,350 ft.
3. Vail Resort (Colorado USA) - 5,289 Acres - Highest Elevation 11,570 ft. - Vertical Drop 3,450 ft.
4. Heavenly (California/Nevada, USA) - 4,800 Acres - Highest Elevation 10,067 ft. - Vertical Drop 3,500 ft.
5. Snowbird/Alta (Utah, USA) - 4,700 Acres on a combined lift pass (Snowbird 2,500 ft./Alta 2,200 ft.) - Highest Elevation 11,000 ft. - Vertical Drop 3,240 ft.
6. Lake Louise (Alberta, Canada) - 4,200 Acres - Highest Elevation 8,650 ft. - Vertical Drop 3,250 ft.
7. Squaw Valley (California, USA) - 4,000 Acres - Highest Elevation 9,050 ft. - Vertical Drop 2,850 ft.

Extras
Highest Vertical Drop - Revelstoke (Alberta, Canada) 5,620 ft.
Highest Ski Lift Elevation - Breckenridge (Colorado, USA) 12,840 ft.
Highest Resort Elevation - Silverton (Colorado, USA) 13,487 ft.
Highest Average Annual Snowfall - Mount Baker (Washington, USA) - 647 inches

看来阿尔卑斯山脉比落基山脉给力啊

Phoenixtear

蓝山的lift capacity能达到 21690/hour 呢，这个数字是很多大雪场都不一定能达到的。能排第几呢？

就俺个人看法，世界上最好的滑雪场在落基山脉，也许再加上个Whistler。俺对欧洲的雪场感觉一般。

说说为啥呢，正在想着下一次是选欧洲，洛基，还是 BC+AB Revelstoke/Panorama/Lake Louise

我只知道欧洲是最贵最远的，还有啥缺点么？
