* "Lift-served terrain" or "vertical feet" is calculated from the highest lift-served point to the lowest lift-served point.

** Many ski areas will not report their "continuous vertical" statistic. This figure is the greatest amount of lift-served vertical
that can possibly be skied at once, without being stopped by terrain features, a dead-end, out-of-area, or otherwise
unskiable terrain requiring either a hike or another lift to continue to the lowest lift-served point.
For example, Deer Valley, Utah, reports a vertical drop of 3,000 feet (on par with Park City or Telluride),
however, the longest single run at the resort is barely 2,000 vertical feet, or about the same vertical drop
as Waterville Valley in New Hampshire.
