Podium.com — a startup that has revolutionized customer reviews for local businesses — has used data from Facebook, Google, and other top review sites to identify the 25 best ski resorts in the United States.
In order to qualify, ski mountains had to be a public resort that is open for the 2018-2019 season and has more than 500 online reviews. Podium then consolidated that review data for more than 350 resorts across the country through its platform to produce the following rankings of the top 25 ski resorts in the nation:
