Notes edit

  1. ^ "To summarize: shuttle (equals) separate ski areas; lift, trail, or short walk (equals) one ski area. There are only a handful of ski areas in America that required application of this calculus."[2]
  2. ^ 'By “private,” I mean, “some dude put a ropetow in his backyard for his own personal use.” I do include private ski areas, such as Holimont in New York or Yellowstone Club in Montana, on this list, but both offer a means to join, even if those means are beyond the reach of the average human’s checkbook.'[2]
