USA Today readers' poll on best ski resorts LMFAO

**charlesj** · 12-05-2023, 10:14 AM

I know that is the publication we all turn to for the "best" skiing beta. Reminded me of the way Ski or Skiing readers (presumeably from Cleveland and Buffalo) would put Holiday Valley at the top of their list

https://10best.usatoday.com/awards/t...i-resort-2023/

I think they deserve it.

So unfair that they omitted the world class resorts of the Poconos

Wonder what would top a TGR poll of best resorts.

**Toadman** · 12-05-2023, 11:09 AM

I guess USA Today over indexes in MN and MI.

Mammoth would be number one. I mean it's basically a fwt venue.

Even growing up in the Midwest I may have heard of this place, but not on my radar at all.

No. 1: Mount Bohemia - Lac La Belle, Michigan

Not one area in NYS ??

Some of y'all are just jealous you didn't ski 14 days at the third best resort in N America last year!

Finally Lonnie’s vision and leadership are rightly acknowledged by the ski press

Boho runs an insta campaign to stuff ballots for this one poll every year, iirc

Hey now….Elk Mtn’s tag line is, “it’s like skiing in VT, without the drive.”

**Peruvian** · 12-05-2023, 04:47 PM

This was a reader poll, right?

If so, I love that Bohemia gamed it to get their tight community to vote early and often.

My sister always sends me photos of the triple blacks up at Bohemia when she's there on her annual trip.

And she's an intermediate skier.

TRIPLE BLACKS, MOTHERFUCKERS!!

I’m sure Lutsen used the same tactic. Maybe next year we should make Hickory #1

**romeo tango** · 12-05-2023, 05:05 PM

training for MI

**DanoT** · 12-05-2023, 10:26 PM

So, does USA Today know that they have been gamed by Mt Bohemia "ballet box stuffing" and don't want to admit it or are they just stupid?

I would like to know which VT resort puts their guest in a cattle car to shuttle them to the lodge.

I’m imagining death chutes to the road. And packs of wolves.

Probably the latter.

**MarsB** · 12-06-2023, 01:33 PM

They don't care, they just want clicks. This is USA Today, for fuck's sake.

**Lurch** · 12-06-2023, 01:38 PM

Best way to get Internet clicks is to say something absolutely mind numbingly stupid.

An article written by bots, discussing the results of a poll voted on by bots.

There are actually 2 in VT that initially come to mind….
-Bromley
-Sugarbush/Lincoln

We all have an alternative Elk tag line…lol.

Elk is like skiing in VT without the drive….high speed lifts, tree skiing, music playing, friendly lifties, people smiling and generally having fun…lol.
