#Top Ski Vacation Spots Across America

Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Perhaps a little bit the victim of its own fabulousness, Jackson Hole can get horribly overcrowded and even excellent conditions rapidly stripped. That said, it offers top-notch infrastructure and a vast terrain that ticks a ton of expert boxes, as well as excellent snowfall, with an abundance of light, fluffy powder to play in. There’s great backcountry and heli-skiing to be had here, but avalanches aren’t infrequent, so know your stuff before you venture away from the marked trails.

Breckenridge, Colorado

As the first ski resort in the state to welcome snowboarders, you can see why many riders find their spiritual home here. That said, with 2,358 acres of skiable terrain, spread across four mountains, there is ample room for skiers, too – and there’s enough variety to keep everyone, from absolute beginners, to hardened experts, happy. Snowfall is generally good, but even when the meteorological deities aren’t smiling, there are close to 400 snow guns to make up the shortfall. The elevation is extraordinary, so make the most of it by riding the Imperial Express Super Chair all the way to 3,900 meters.
