Ski Vacation Packages

There are three main areas you want to consider if you're planning a ski vacation in the US: Colorado, Utah and Lake Tahoe. Colorado has always been known as a major ski destination with its vast mountain ranges and propensity for early snow. The ski resorts there are ideal for early season skiing because of the high elevation and cold temperatures. Consider Breckenridge, Vail or Aspen to get the full ski experience. Utah on the other hand is known for its ease of access, most resorts just an hour away from Salt Lake City. Park City Canyons is a must visit ski resort here. Lastly, Lake Tahoe ski resorts are known for its views of Lake Tahoe and nightlife.

The Southern Rockies in Colorado is known for its incredible snow quality, high elevation, cold temperatures, and great snowmaking; all of which make it ideal for early season skiing. It is known for its highest concentration of famous ski resorts with exceptional snow quality. The downside is that it is not very accessible from Denver airport and can be a pricey ski destination. Our best selling resorts in Colorado are Vail,Breckenridge and Aspen. Most ski resorts here are under the EPIC pass or IKON pass program.

Ski resorts here get more snow on average per year than Colorado and are more accessible and budget friendly - most ski resorts are just 45 minutes from the airport. The flipside is that it is less ideal for early season skiing with fewer household names than Colorado. The biggest attractions here are Park City and Deer Valley Resort but there are other popular resorts like Alta,Brighton,Snowbird or Solitude which you can explore with the Salt Lake Ski Super Pass.

This is the ski destination if you want more than just skiing - here you will find an amazing apres ski culture along with vibrant nightlife. Heavenly Ski Resort is where you want to go, as it sits on the state line where you'll find the Tahoe casinos with the stunning views of Lake Tahoe. That said, relative to Colorado, it is lower in elevation and prone to warmer conditions.

You should consider Japan and France. Japanese ski resorts are known for their consistent snowfall and waist deep powder. Major ski resorts in Japan are in the Hakuba region (Happo One) and Hokkaido (Niseko, Rusutsu). The French Alps are littered with amazing ski resorts such as Chamonix, Meribel and Tignes. Here is where you will get your fill of big mountain skiing.

You can get the best ski deals by bundling it in a package - get lodging, ski passes and ski rentals all at the same place and well in advance. Ski pass programs such as the EPIC pass and the IKON pass go on sale before the ski season starts and offer great flexibility in your ski days and pricing.

This depends on your budget and destination. The ski season in the US generally starts late November to April. The early and late months are considered the shoulder season where the snow quality drops but the price of a ski trip also drops. The safest period to go skiing is around late December to early March where there is enough snow for the mountain to fully open.

You need to first decide on the ski resort you want to visit. Things to consider are the mountain itself, other activities outside of skiing the ski town or village has to offer, how close to the slopes in your stay and your overall budget. Ski in ski out lodging can be very pricey. After that, it is a matter of arranging all your pieces of your ski trip from lodging, ski passes, ski gear rental, lessons and transportation.
