VALUE

1. Powder Mountain, Utah (above): With a whopping 5,500 acres of skiable terrain (the most of any ski resort in the U.S.), two terrain parks, and over 500 inches of natural snowfall each year, Powder Mountain's $56 one-day lift ticket is a steal. Add $4 and you can bypass closing time and hit up night-skiing.

ON-MOUNTAIN FOOD

1. Deer Valley, Utah (above): Need some raspberry coffee cake and hot Irish oatmeal before you hit the slopes for the day? Craving a roasted butternut squash enchilada or turkey chili inbetween double blacks? Or maybe you're saving your appetite for après-ski parmesan baked pita chips and a draft beer. Look no further than Deer Valley's on-mountain lodges and restaurants.
