Countries of the World by Largest Ski Area (Vertical Drop)

Each ski area is the largest in its country when measured by vertical drop. List the country corresponding to this ski area.
Counted via vertical drop, not skiable area, another measurement of the size of a ski area
In cases where the ski resort crosses countries, assume that the vertical drop of that ski area is the same for each country, even if that may not be the case in real life.
Ski areas in overseas territories ARE included with their parent country. The continent is the continent of the ski resort, not of the country as a whole.
Ski areas marked with a star use artificial/dry snow, are sandboarding areas,, or are indoors

Basically showcasing the limitations of vertical drop as a measurement of ski area size here. Case in point Tochal in Iran. From a map, it almost certinally has less than 10 km of total skiable acreage, with basically a single run. But since that one run goes from the very top to the very bottom of a mountain, it is one of the single largest ski areas. By comparison, Revelstoke has around 60 km of skiable terrain, and Kitsteinhorn has around 70 km. The largest ski area by area, Les 3 Valles, has over 200 km of skiable terrain. While it is one of the largest ski areas by vertical, Tochal is in reality quite small.

And before anyone asks, from photos, as far as I can tell, the two smallest ski resorts are basically just tall, cloth covered conveyor belts that people "ski" on, Sort of like a perpetual wave machine for skiers. Really stretching the definition of ski resort here.
