Hi,
I am trying to establish a top of the best ski resorts www.squidoo.com/8-best-ski-resorts-in-the-world. I would appreciate your help. It includes 8 resorts. There is a poll, where you can vote. You can also suggest me some other resorts if you think they should be included.
Thanks.

PDS is fantastic - on piste I'd much rather ski there than in Chamonix...

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Mr Piehole, funny. And accurate. All of the depth of a parking lot puddle.

This is usually a list for younger skiers. I used to love them 20 years ago. As you get older your ideas of a perfect resort change. I still have acopy of teh Good Ski Guide 1997 which gave a kind of list with stars in for about twenty categories ranging from off piste to cuisine. We totted then all up and the resort that came out of top, by quite a way was Whistler. So the next year we went to Whistler. The things that made it so much better than anything we'd skied in Europe was the total lack of queues. Europe has coem on since then with many high speed quads and six seater chairs blitzing the bottel necks. I've been lucky enough to ski many resorts around the world and have often bumped in to people in the indusrty who seem to have skied almost everywhere.
Here are some of the answers i've been given, by various folk -in no particular order:
Heavenly (USA)
Risoul (France)
Vail (USA)
Cortina (Italy)
Zermat (Switzerland)
It all depends what you want.
For extremers it seems to be Jackson Hole or La Grave
For romantics Zermat
For those who only talk skiing Vald'sere
For older folks anywhere in Austria - excpet St Anton whihch is antoher Val s'dere
I've you want scenery -Pretty much anywhere in the Dolomites
If I was 18 I'd got to Jackson hole and jump off cliffs
If I was 25 I'd go to St Anton with my mates
If I was 30 I'd go to Valdisere before my kids arrived
If I was 35 I'd go to Risoul with my toddlers (I did)
At forty I took my kids to corvara.
My kids and wife don't really like skiing. Anyone fancy jioing me in La Grave to jump off some cliffs in 2013?

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Think the best resort is for the longest queue since Whistler/Backcomb gone into the top.

Not very original. It's been done a million times and is totally pointless. Please don't bother.

You know it makes sense.

The discussion in every bar in every ski resort, every evening. And I cannot even come up with the same list two evenings in succession. Its a lot of fun but fairly pointless. Just like the worst ones we have ever been to
