#Top Ski Vacation Spots Across America

You’re spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing a ski holiday in the States, but in a country so vast, those choices can be hard to narrow down. Whether you’re a gnarly expert or a family looking for child-friendly facilities, each resort has its own appeal – read on to find the top ski vacation spot that’s right for you.

Copper Mountain, Colorado

A great choice for families, this resort boasts an excellent infrastructure, with ski-in, ski-out accommodation and facilities, plus plenty to ease beginners in to skiing on its 126 trails. There’s much to keep the expert happy as well, with steep verticals and challenging terrain, while boarders can play in a series of excellent parks. There are also loads of non-ski activities to service those days when little legs just don’t want to get involved, or when the attractions of the many bars in the locale have nixed the following day’s ski plans.

Taos, New Mexico

There’s a certain kind of maturity that you expect from a Taos skier – not only is over 50% of the terrain geared to experts, but there’s a notable absence of après – indeed, the mountain was one of the last bastions of the ‘no boarders’ rule in the US, until the shredders got their way in ’08. Featuring rugged landscape, 300+ days of New Mexican sunshine and about the same in snow-inches, and you can see why the boarders campaigned – and why the skiers wanted it all to themselves.
