#10: Big Horn

Big Horn Ski Resort is a relatively new resort located in Wyoming, west of Buffalo in the United States. Big Horn doesn't have anything particularly spectacular to recommend it in the surrounding area, but if you're a skier, you're sure to appreciate the top-notch runs and long skiing season (from November to April, not dependent on weather).

Big Horn is also famous for its snowboarding, and they have a special area set up for snowboarders. If you like to surf your way downhill, Big Horn definitely won't disappoint!

There isn't much to do at Big Horn besides ski, but if you're interested in other outdoor activities, they have snowmobile rentals and beautiful scenery. There are also a variety of new lounges and restaurants, perfect spots to wind down after a hard day on the slopes.

One of Big Horn's best attractions, though, is its super-quality artificial snow system! You'll almost never find closed runs at Big Horn. They even have an early season snowmaker which they use to get things started on the right foot. Big Horn's artificial snow has been so successful that they've upgraded their machines, meaning that this year's snow should be better quality than ever.

Big Horn is for hardcore skiers not worried about taking a day or two from the slopes, but if you want to focus on skiing and the outdoors without distractions, it's the perfect destination!
