YouTube ratings are interesting things. When a video is viewed as en embed or a pre-roll ad, viewers find their way to the video’s original YouTube page where they can leave a rating.

Filtering diverse content by the same criteria is never perfect, but when you filter YouTube videos by both number of ratings but also the rating themselves you get a really good blend of popularity and organic viewership through YouTUbe’s much more refined algorithm rather than letting paid placements (that drive views) rise to the top.

When I ran the ranking this time I noticed that when two filters were applied:

• At least 25 ratings.
• Uploaded since Nov 1, 2016

Exactly 26 videos had both 25+ ratings but also a perfect score of 5.0.

It’s kind of an interesting, intriguing collection of resort news, lift updates, snow reports, and freeskiing edits. Take a look.

About Gregg & SlopeFillers
I've had more first-time visitors lately, so adding a quick "about" section. I started SlopeFillers in 2010 with the simple goal of sharing great resort marketing strategies. Today I run marketing for resort ecommerce and CRM provider Inntopia, my home mountain is the lovely Nordic Valley, and my favorite marketing campaign remains the Ski Utah TV show that sold me on skiing as a kid in the 90s.
