Information about skiing holidays in USA

Skiing in the US has everything you expect from a perfect winter vacation. The US offers large and densely wooded ski areas over 3000 meters high with perfectly groomed ski slopes, some of which reach to the front door. There is first class service with friendly staff as well as top modern and fast lifts without waiting. And the Wild West-style ski resorts also have beautiful, spacious, American-style accommodations right on the slopes.

The absolute highlight of the US ski resorts, however, is arguably the best snow in the world – at least those skiers who have already made skiing holidays in the USA say so. No matter where you are looking for your next departure, with Snowplaza your next skiing holiday in the USA starts here! Find your favorite ski resort, panoramic photos, trail maps, accommodations, hotels, apartments, ski passes, webcams, the latest weather and much more for skiing in the US.

Ski areas in the US at a glance

The best ski resorts in the US are located in the highest mountains in the US – in the Rocky Mountains – especially in the two states of Utah and Colorado. Due to the climatic conditions, the tree line is slightly higher than in the Alps, and you drive even at higher altitudes through broad forest corridors. One of the highest and most popular ski resorts in the US, Breckenridge is about 120 km west of Denver. Wide powder snow slopes and around 150 km of pistes will be explored here on a ski holiday.

Another top ski resort is Steamboat. In the American ski resort you will find the world famous “Champagne Powder” and about 160 km for skiing on optimally groomed slopes. By far the most famous ski resort in the US is Aspen in Colorado. Aspen offers around 480 kilometers of pistes in four ski areas for almost unlimited driving pleasure. On top there is Hollywood feeling, Wild West atmosphere and a lot of glamor and glamor while skiing.

Skiing on the best snow in the world

You may have heard of champagne powder before! This extra light snow is actually only available in the USA. The reason: In the Rocky Mountains, it’s snowing more often than in the Alps, and the lower humidity ensures the ultra-fine snow, on which it is perfect for skiing. Above all, deep snow fans who frolic off the slopes on the forest runs are thrilled with winter sports conditions in the USA. In general, the Americans put a lot of effort into preparing the slopes perfectly and ironing the ski slopes for the next day smoothly. By the way, the Americans hardly know any icy slopes.

Events and après-ski in the USA

The special thing about skiing in the US is certainly the extra fun factor while you make winter holidays in the US. This is not only because of the numerous après-ski offers, but also because of the mentality of the Americans themselves. The people in the USA are very relaxed, they like to laugh about themselves, and they are extremely sociable and conversational. Even if you’re on your own skiing holiday in the US, it should not be boring in the Rocky Mountains. Added to this is an extra portion of service! Not infrequently, cookies or muffins are served for free at the lift.

Incidentally, the best nightlife and bustle can be found in Aspen or Breckenridge. Both ski resorts regularly organize high-profile events to keep skiers on holiday in the US in good spirits.

Practical tips for traveling to the USA

10 hours flight, 1 to 2 hours drive, and already the ski vacation in the USA can begin! From Germany you either fly to Denver or Salt Lake City to get to the ski resorts in the Rocky Mountains. Both cities have international airports and regular air connections to Germany and Europe. The best accessible is the Park City – Deer Valley ski area, about 45 minutes’ drive from Salt Lake City. Advantage: You do not need a car, as Salt Lake City shuttles run into the ski areas. In general, it is advisable to book a rental car, because firstly, the roads in the ski areas are often very well developed and secondly public transport is in short supply.

Incidentally, flights are already available for around € 600, and the accommodations, equipment, rental cars and ski passes are no more expensive than in the Alps. So-called packages – as the Americans like to say – can be booked on the websites of the ski resorts. However, a few words of English are quite helpful for that.

Our favorite ski resorts in the USA

We have already experienced many ski resorts in the US and the following has stuck. Once in Aspen, you will be amazed by the sheer unlimited opportunities for skiing. Once in Salt Lake City, you will appreciate the excellent snow conditions. If you’ve ever been to Breckenridge then you’ll love the great leisure and entertainment facilities for a long time, and once you’ve been to Keystone, you’ll miss the best US snow park back in Germany.

Our tip is the ski resort Steamboat. On the beautiful ski slopes through the wooded area makes skiing a lot of fun, because it is not quite as crowded here. Not infrequently you have the whole track to yourself. Disadvantage is, however, that the journey to Steamboat takes a little longer, because the ski area is about three hours drive from Denver away. Wherever you spend your skiing holiday in the US, with Snowplaza your next departure in the US starts here!
