Ski & Mountain Getaways

Colorado, Utah, Vermont & More Dec - Mar

A ski or mountain vacation is one of the most magical winter experiences for families and couples alike. Whether you are first-time skiers hitting the bunny slopes or experienced riders carving double blacks, the right resort makes all the difference.

For families, resorts like Vail, Beaver Creek, Deer Valley, and Smugglers' Notch offer exceptional ski school programs for kids, family-friendly lodging, and non-ski activities like tubing, snowshoeing, and sleigh rides.

Your travel advisor can match you to the right mountain based on your skill level, budget, travel logistics, and what you want beyond the slopes -- whether that is a world-class spa, a lively apres-ski scene, or a quiet cabin in the woods.

Insider Tips

Plan Like a Pro

January and early February typically have the best snow conditions and lowest prices -- avoid Presidents' Day week

Book ski school for kids well in advance -- popular programs fill up months ahead

Rent equipment at the resort or a local shop rather than hauling your own unless you are an expert

Altitude sickness is real above 8,000 feet -- arrive a day early to acclimate and drink plenty of water

Consider a ski-in/ski-out property for families with kids -- eliminating the shuttle adds hours to your ski day
