What makes American ski holidays different
The first thing you notice about American skiing holidays is how less crowded everything is, with spacious, well groomed pistes and superb quality ski-lifts free from queues and manned by friendly, efficient staff. Snowboarders have plenty of varied terrain, and the high altitude resorts offer plenty of quality snow both on and off piste.
Each skiing area has its own unique terrain, offering everything from friendly nursery slopes to challenging mountain runs. Seasoned skiers take ski breaks to America specifically because they can guarantee they’ll get plenty of off piste fresh powder skiing.
Resorts offering ski holidays
There are over 40 top quality ski resorts in America. Many of the names will be familiar to you even if only as movie locations: Breckenridge, Banff, Lake Tahoe, Lake Placid, Sundance and Vail are all top quality resorts that are becoming popular with European tourists.
Americans are keen to promote their skiing breaks to visitors, and there are plenty of mountain hosts to tell you where the best runs are. Families are particularly well looked after, with family resorts offering excellent ski schools, crèche facilities, children’s snow clubs and family restaurants.
