B.C. ski resorts take top billing

  • News you can use after 5 p.m.

    • WHISTLER, B.C. (AP) -- British Columbia clobbered Colorado for the top three spots in a Conde Nast Traveler magazine poll ranking the top ski resorts in North America.

    Nearly 2,000 readers responded to the survey. They were asked to evaluate 158 resorts using six criteria: terrain and conditions, accommodations, town ambience and amenities, lifts and lines, food and service.

    While British Columbia resorts won the first, second and third places, in the "best overall" category, there were six Colorado resorts in the top 10.

    The top three, all in the Whistler-Blackcomb, B.C. area, were Westin Resort & Spa, Chateau Whistler Resort and Pan Pacific Lodge.

    The rest of the top 10, in descending order, were:

    Lodge and Spa at Cordillera, Vail, Colo.; Wyndham Peaks and Golden Door Spa, Telluride, Colo.; Vail Cascade Resort, Colo.; Sonnenalp Resort of Vail, Colo.; Ice House Lodge & Condominiums, Telluride, Colo.; Amangani Resort, Jackson Hole, Wyo., and St. Regis, Aspen, Colo.
