2 Vermont ski resorts just ranked among the most popular in the U.S.

Vermont is a hot spot for skiers and riders every winter, but two ski resorts in particular are in high demand this season, according to a recent study.

Holidu, a search engine for vacation rentals, analyzed Google searches to determine the 50 most popular ski resorts in the U.S. for the 2024-25 season, and two Vermont spots made the top 10: Mount Snow ranked No. 5 and Jay Peak ranked No. 6.

Mount Snow averaged 55,700 searches each month, and Jay Peak averaged 51,400 searches each month, according to the report. The most popular ski resort in the U.S. is Copper Mountain in Colorado, with an average of 97,700 searches a month.

“Known for its innovative amenities, it features the East Coast’s first high-speed six-pack lift and a spacious terrain park that’s a hit with freestyle enthusiasts,” wrote Holidu about Mount Snow, the top-ranked New England spot.

Holidu comprised the list after studying the average monthly global search volume on Google in the last 12 months for 50 ski resorts nationwide.

Jay Peak was named the best ski resort in Vermont by Boston.com readers, who also named its Green Mountain Flyer Quad, a.k.a. “The Freezer,” the coldest chairlift in the Northeast.
