Jay Peak Resort
According to OntheSnow.com, Jay Peak Resort places first both in top-rated ski resort overall and in top-rated all-mountain terrain.

Touted as a family-oriented and family-operated ski resort, Okemo Mountain – located above the wondrous village of Ludlow – is one to take the whole family to. Back in the 80s, Tim and Diane Mueller bought the ski area and turned it into what it is today: a year-round resort focused on solid fun and solid runs.

Those are some strong numbers if we do say so ourselves. Something else that's important to note is that this resort is spread out over three mountains with 78 trails scattered throughout the park.
