Ski Resorts in North America

Ski Resorts > About Us

While the options for a winter vacation may seem endless, there are some basic criteria to consider.  For those that are active, skiing and snowboarding hotspots will be decided by the slopes.  Often package deals can be had that include not only passes for the slopes, but equipment rental and lodging for an unbeatable price.  Others may be into cross country skiing, sledding, or snowmobiling.  Evaluate the trail network available for these activities before booking accommodations.  For the enjoyment of a whole family, consider the needs of every member to ensure that no one is left out.

If your home is near a mountain resort area with great alpine skiing, you have the option of going for the day, rather than booking a full trip.  However, if what you're looking for includes a bit more travel, perhaps even out of the country, there is no better place to start your search than online.  You will often be able to find pictures, prices, and even be able to make reservations for resorts and lodges online.  After doing research, you still may want to get in touch with a travel agent; sometimes they can find the best unlisted prices and airline fares.  Happy searches and good wishes for an alpine vacation you and your loved ones will never forget!
