The best US mountain for every type of skier

We recently ranked the best ski resorts in America, but it can be a bit tricky to figure out which one will fit you best.

So we've compiled a list of the best mountains for every type of skier. 

From the adrenaline-inducing Colbert’s Couloir in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to a romantic getaway in the White Mountains, here are the best mountains for every type of traveler. 

Best For Adrenaline Junkies: Jackson Hole Mountain, Teton Village, Wyoming

Jackson Hole has some intense double-diamond runs, but nothing is quite as terrifying as its Colbert's Couloir. 

Named the most intense ski run in the US by Liftopia, the run starts with a massive free fall drop.

Any skier who is willing to attempt the run must start by plunging off of a cliff face onto  55-degree slope, and then immediately turn right to avoid smashing  into the face of Precambrian rock.  

Needless to say, it intimidates even the most advanced skiers — and many will turn around after looking off the edge. 

Best For Millionaires: Snowmass Ski Resort, Aspen, Colorado

Aspen is widely consider to be one of the world's top ski destinations, and it is home to some incredible mountains — but it is also quite expensive, and lift tickets usually cost $129. 

The city is often reffered to as 'Rocky Mountain playground for the rich and famous,' with its gourmet restaurants, luxurious lodge retreats, and nightlife filled with plenty of celebrity spotting. 

Best For Budget Travelers: Cooper Mountain, Cooper, Colorado

Cooper Mountain has 2,465 skiable acres, 140 trails, and is a great value — season passes are $389, which is 21% less than the US average. 

But its accommodations also help to make it a great destination for budget travelers. 

Hotels near good ski mountains can cost almost $300 a night, but Copper offers Condo-styled accommodations. The condos can sleep plenty of people, and come equipped with kitchens so you won't have the added expense of eating out. It is also easy to walk to the ski lifts.
