Hey everyone,

Check out what our friends at The Ski Channel just cooked up. It's a super interactive resort guide with tons of info called the Resort Rater, and it's pretty damn cool: www.theskichannel.com/resort-rater/

Meh.... Google is more effective IMO. Plus it is incomplete. For Montana, there are 3 mountains near my home town that I ski. Out of the three, the only one listed on their site is the one that is closed indefinitely.

Yep, and if they only listed hills "worthy of being listed" or whatever then epic fail on their part.

if you understood the man power required to load in the data for even one resort you would be surprised... give them some time to get the big ones out of the way first, they will complete them all eventually
