Breckenridge Ranks No. 7 on Ski Magazine List


Breckenridge again made the top 10 in Ski Magazines top ski resorts.

The readers of Ski Magazine ranked Breckenridge number 7 overall. Although that is a drop of one position from last year when it was rated number 6.

Deer Valley, Utah, supplanted Vail as the No. 1 ski resort among readers of SKI Magazine.

Vail received the runner-up position, besting five Colorado resorts in the top 10.

"Statistically, the drop is fairly insignificant," said Greg Ditrinco, executive editor for SKI. "You can't really point to one area they fell precipitously."

Vail ranked in the top spot three of the last four years, and six times in the past decade. But the resort's success can be an enemy, said Greg Ditrinco, executive editor for SKI.

Summit's other resorts, Copper Mountain, Keystone and Arapahoe Basin, failed to make the top 10.
