Few things in life are better than an adventurous and exciting
vacation. Especially a ski vacation. Whether it’s a family
outing, a romantic get-away with your special someone, or you
are going solo in search of snow and fun in the sun, this site
can assist you in determining which destination is right for
you. First decision–a ski resort in the United States or a trip
to a more exotic foreign destination–perhaps the majestic and
scenic Alps? If you decide on an North American ski vacation,
your next decision might be choosing which geographic region of
the United States most beckons you.

Thanks to the presence of the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra
Nevadas, and the Cascades, the western portions of the United
States feature breathtaking scenery in addition to fantastic
skiing conditions. With 12,000 foot peaks, azure blue skies and
hundreds of inches of snow it doesn’t get much better. Do you
want to blast down the ruggedly beautiful mountains of Montana
through waist-deep, dry powder the natives call “white smoke”?

Maybe skiing with the rich and famous is more your style–if so
try Aspen, Colorado, known for its majestic four mountains.
Mammoth Mountain, Vail, Jackson Hole, Steamboat Springs, Taos,
Snowbird, the hundreds of runs and resorts of Utah, Washington,
California, and Idaho. Simply too many to list!

Just north of the 49th parallel (the Canadian border) lie some
of the world’s best skiing options featuring the top ski resort
destinations. Banff/Lake Louise in Alberta, Canada, located in
the heart of Canada’s Banff National Park, ranks as one of the
most scenic mountain resorts in North America, if not the entire
world.

And Whistler/Blackcomb in British Columbia with 8,000 skiable
acres and its 100+ bars and restaurants in the village is
definitely a “must do” destination. These magnificent mountain
peaks provide gorgeous scenery, abundant snowfall, pristine
wildlife areas, and the steepest vertical drop in North America.
The Japanese have repeatedly ranked it as their favorite
international destination.

One valuable tip for planning a ski vacation–get all of your
necessary items in a single package or as some travel agents
refer to it–”bundling.” In simple terms it means to get your
airline tickets, hotel accommodations, car rental, lift tickets
all from a single source at the same time. Some agencies will
even make arrangements for off-slope activities that you are
interested in. These inclusive packages make vacationing easy,
affordable, convenient and fun. Use online searches to find the
best resorts, the most affordable prices and the best travel
companies.

A ski vacation can provide you and your family the perfect break
during the long, dark winter months, and allow you to experience
some quality bonding time. Picture your family conquering the
slopes, making snow angels, riding snowmobiles or soaking in the
heavenly heated pool as the brilliant stars twinkle brightly
overhead. You can choose from a wide array of destinations,
accommodations and flight plans. No matter where you want to ski
or snowboard, you will find the best deals on the Internet.

Whether you are an experienced downhill racer, a beginning
snowboarder, or someone in between, you can get a mountain of
free skiing information by doing some research on the Internet.
