Most who try it end up going back again and again. With the best snow reliability, relatively deserted pistes, immaculate vast slope grooming, excellent and varied resort restaurants and a natural friendly culture it is obvious why American skiing is so engaging. The ambience of the Wild West plus the dramatic peak panorama certainly adds to the attraction!
USA ski resorts offer good value skiing for every entry level of ability. With the strength of the pound against the dollar it does seem an even more attractive country to venture to. Most resorts in the states combine neighbouring regions and ski zones in the charge of the lift pass, stretching that value even further and offering an even wider choice of runs. Variety is one of the major advantages in any ski holiday in the USA. A serious amount of snow, typically in the region of 6-12m in a season tends to arrive much more frequently than in Europe, thus the likelihood of hitting fresh powder is superior. The lift staff are competent and professional plus you can always find a mountain host in close proximity to recommend you on the finest slopes in any resort. Piste grooming is certainly taken more than seriously. Compared to Europe, the slopes in America are blissfully quiet especially during the week.
Off the slopes, the American ski resorts have everything from relaxed family venues and chic nightspots to romantic restaurants and live music bars. All American resorts are keen to provide every convenience for visitors, in order to encourage more and more people from all over the world to ski USA resorts . Some are more purpose-built offering forefront ski convenience whilst others hold their mature charm, many being aged mining towns.
The best regions are California, Colorado, Utah, New England all of which all contain some outstanding resorts. Whichever resort you choose, you will not be disappointed!
