Certain spots make a name for themselves thanks to their nonexistent lift lines or inordinate amounts of snow. Others thrive because they've fine-tuned the on-mountain experience to the point that it's no longer associated with squished PB&Js and cold fingers, but with flutes of Champagne and cozy chalets.
