I did not grow up snow skiing, I preferred dancing and cheerleading. But in my early 20’s I started skiing during work trips to amazing destinations like Colorado, Vermont, Lake Tahoe and Switzerland. My brother also lived in Summit County, Colorado and I would go visit him during the ski season. It was the best times – weekends skiing at various resorts like Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Vail and A-Basin.
Each day filled with adventurous skiing through forests and down moguls, ending the day Après Ski, drinking a cold beer and watching the sun go down over the breathtaking scenery. Now with winter right in front of us, I hear the crisp, white covered mountains calling my name. If you get a thrill from traversing the mountain tops by day and strolling quaint ski villages by night, here are some of the best ski deals for the upcoming season!
Copper Mountain Resort - If you have never been to Copper Mountain, you are truly missing out. This adorable little resort nestled in the side of a mountain off of 70 in Colorado offers a variety of trails that are easy to get to and great restaurants to enjoy after a long day of skiing. What I love about this place is the fact that it is not that popular, so it is not super busy during peak season and it is easy to get in and out of. And right now they are offering 25 – 35% off of set ski packages.
Lake Tahoe – Lake Tahoe boasts some of the most beautiful scenery in ski country that I have ever seen. I've had amazing ski trips here and I would go back any time! The lake offers such a beautiful backdrop and the snow is pretty much all year round. There are so many deals going on at a variety of condos and hotels that it is hard to list here, but visit their website for the latest.
Whistler – I have never been to Canada's Whistler but I have heard it's fantastic. The views, the skiing. Right now they have a variety of deals going on including Free Ski Days. Check out some of the deals starting at $478 per person for 5 nights.
Stowe, Vermont – Ah Vermont…not only can you visit Ben and Jerry’s, sample some Maple Syrup and enjoy amazing food and wine, you can also ski in Vermont. Stowe is a top-rated resort offering some great deals right now starting at $225 per person for 2 nights and 2 day lift tickets.
Montana – Every time I think of Montana I picture sweeping valleys of green and giant mountains jutting out of those valleys, covered in white snow. Ready for skiers. Montana offers some great skiing deals right now including free ski days and prices starting at $858 per person for 5 nights and 4 day lift tickets.
So, grab your cutest ski bunny outfit, breathe deeply and get ready to let your spirit soar as you glide through God’s country. And if skiing is not your thing, look cute while sipping a cocktail in the lodge….a sure bet to enjoying any weekend away!.
