Top Ski Resorts for Mega-Resorts

Go far, stay long, ski deep. You won’t carve it all in a day. It’ll take a week just to get your bearings. These mind-blowing stretches of white bring everything you want to the fore—a mix of here-we-go-again and never-seen-this before. High-tech lifts spider-vein across a gazillion miles of sprawling slopes that run the gamut from see-forever beginner trails to way-out-there half-day-long commitment. With bowls the size of the Sea of Tranquility, scare-your-mother steeps, and epic, utterly humbling experiences that end with rubber legs and hard-won competence. Choose your own adventure, powder hounds—each of these ten resorts will accommodate your particular pleasures. And a whole lot more.
