Top Ten Mogul Ski Resort Mountains

We ranked our favorite mogul mountains based on the number of available mogul runs, percentage of advanced terrain and quality of mogul formations.

1) Taos New Mexico (US)

This mountain will kick your ass and you will leave happy. They are fully dedicated and committed to the advanced skiers and mogul skiing. Snowboarding is usually counterproductive to the formation of moguls and is banned from the mountain entirely. The signature Taos mogul run is "Al's Run" who's view greets all who drive up to the mountain and a sign telling beginners not to panic. My favorite however is Longhorn which seems endless and leaves you wondering when it's going to end.

Taos is the host of the 2007 Salomon Extreme Freeride Championships.

2) Mary Jane Colorado (US)

The Mary Jane (part of the Winter Park resort), dedicates itself to moguls. You can find moguls on the entire mountain. This is the break down of the trails:

Expert Only: 1% (Double black diamond)

Most Difficult: 57% (Black diamond)

Advanced: 22% (Blue-Black)

Intermediate: 19% (Blue)

Beginner: 1% (Green)

3) Telluride Colorado (US)

Great terrain, great town, great time! Gotta love runs with intimidating names like "Plunge", Spiral Stairs", "Dynamo" and "Kant-mak-M". Telluride has two sides with two distinct characteristics, one side is easy and the other is not. Boasts 38% advanced/expert runs and that's why we like it.

4) Sun Valley Idaho (US)

One of our favorite resorts for a mountain with advanced terrain coupled with a town of luxury and comforts.

If you like moguls check out Rock Garden, Exhibition or Upper Holiday.

5) Jay Peak Vermont (US)

Jay offers great moguls and thinned tree glades. The best moguls the northeast has to offer. Find Kitzbuehl and Powerline to find out what we are talking about.

6) Steamboat Springs Colorado (US)

You will enjoy Tornado, Rolex, 3 O'Clock and the runs off of Morningside.

See our review of Steamboat Springs CO for more.

7) Copper Mountain (US)

Take the Alpine lift over by East Village to Far East, Triple Threat and Too Much. These bump runs will leave you smiling.

See our review of Copper Mountain CO for more information.

8) Alta Utah (US)

Thirty five percent of their terrain is dedicated to the advanced skier and the "black diamond". The run "High Rustler" (shown here) is worthy of mention. Great snow and cheap lift tickets will get you to like this mountain even more.

9) Killington Vermont (US)

Killington gets our number two vote for the best moguls in the Northeast USA.

10) Jackson Hole Wyoming (US)

While it is better known for its "out of bounds" terrain and Corbet's cliffs, it's also a pretty good mogul mountain. Head on over to Thunder quad lift and check it out.
