The many mountains of North America make for great ski vacations. Many people choose to take ski vacations at one or several of the resorts in the United States or Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Known as the Rocky Mountain State, the U.S. state of Colorado is host to several ski resorts. It is also known as one of the best places to ski in the world due to its high elevation and heavier snow fall. One of these resorts is Aspen, well known for its magnificent slopes and well groomed runs as well as celebrity clientele.
Another wonderful Colorado ski resort is Breckenridge, a favourite among visitors from the U.K. due to the town's quaint Old Western theme and its mining heritage. It also has ski slopes for all abilities. Check the internet for cheap ski holidays in this lovely resort town.
Winter Park is another great Colorado ski resort. Not only is it home to great skiing for varying abilities, but it is also home to other Winter events such as dog sledding, snowshoeing, and sleigh rides. After a day of skiing, you can enjoy your evening at one of several restaurants, then jump into one of the baths in the resort's sulphur hot springs.
If you travel farther South, you can enjoy the mountains of California and experience the skiing at Mammoth Mountain or South Lake Tahoe. Mammoth Mountain, considered to be the best snowboarding mountain in California, offers skiing from November to July due to its annual 30 foot snowfall each Winter. Though mostly geared to the intermediate skier, there are beginner runs as well. After a day of skiing, a free shuttle is offered so the town's restaurants and bars can be enjoyed at night.
At South Lake Tahoe, while visiting one of many ski resorts in the area, an amazing view can be enjoyed. A lift ticket at South Lake Tahoe is interchangeable with more than 8 different resorts in the area. An Apres-ski is available for reservations at some of the area attractions. Plan a visit with friends and family for great group ski holidays.
North of the U.S. border in Canada, you will find the ski resorts of Whistler, British Columbia and Banff, Alberta. Whistler is known for some of the best powder skiing in the world and is one of the only places that you can enjoy Summer skiing on a glacier. It has high speed lifts, so the ski slopes can be reached quickly. In Banff, you have the benefit of a high speed enclosed gondola for a comfortable ride to the top of the ski slopes. After a day of skiing, relax the aching bones in one of the area hot springs pools. Check online for special discounts for a cheap ski holiday.
