Our ski travel experts know that finding luxury lodging at the best ski resorts, under ideal snow conditions, can be a mountainous task. We have traveled the globe and skied at hundreds of resorts at the top rated mountain lodging, we have also stayed at some ski spots that were not up to snuff. Our ski editors work to find the most luxurious ski lodging for you, finding the best location near the lifts to facilitate your first tracks to award-winning spas to make your dream ski vacation a relaxing reality.

The editors at Luxury Ski Trips take ski vacations as serious business. No snow job is too big or too small, and no ski mountain is too close or too far. We personally visit ski resorts, review their finest lodges (all for you), and ski first chair to last call to dig out the top-notch ski vacations. Allow us to be your guide to the best ski vacation destinations and snowboard resorts.

For our editor and lifetime skier, Heather Burke, the perfect ski day is first tracks on perfectly groomed cord, then some glades and steeps, a sit down lunch in a mountaintop restaurant overlooking the slopes. For après ski, back at the slopeside hotel or condominium - a Jacuzzi or spa treatment is just the ski ticket. Then it’s time to hit the ski town. Shopping for a new ski outfit, or browsing ski boutiques is what Heather calls retail therapy. Skiing works up a mountainous appetite and a thirst for an après ski cocktail, dining in a remote romantic ski cabin or gourmet restaurant in ski country is a must. Or a wild western saloon or après ski pub serving the best nachos and burgers in ski country works too. But she’s a ski snob when it comes to lodging, only the best will do. Heather likes to discover posh lodging after a day of powder skiing - a grand hotel, a castle or a romantic inn near the ski slopes.

Heather Burke has been writing about skiing for two decades. Her weekly ski columns appear in New England newspapers and major regional news sites. She writes about luxury ski vacations all over New England, the Rockies and Canada, for high end magazines, travel and ski publications. Heather is an award-winning, nationally accredited ski journalist with Eastern Ski Writers Association, North American Snowsports Journalist Association (www.nasja.org) and North American Travel Journalists Association. She also writes about family ski vacations and teaching the kids to ski on her site, www.familyskitrips.com. Check out Heather's ski blog.

Ski photography on our luxury ski vacation site is provided by Greg Burke. Greg Burke is a nationally accredited NASJA/ESWA photographer. His ski images and ski videos depict the back bowls of Vail in a foot of fresh powder and sun-soaked glade skiing, to 5-star lodging at Aspen or Austria. Greg is an expert skier, and former professional ski instructor, so no ski slope is too steep and no ski resort is too remote to capture with digital ski photography. Greg travel and skis the globe seeking out the finest ski images. He has photographed the US Ski Team, Bode Miller on the downhill course, Heli Skiing in the Canadian Rockies, as well as alpenglow from the Hotel Mount Washington.

Greg’s idea of the ultimate luxury vacation is waking to a beautiful sunrise over the ski mountain, loading first chair to ski fresh powder. His perfect ski day ends after taking hundreds of ski pictures, and tracking 30,000+ vertical feet on his ski altimeter. You will find him soaking in an outdoor hot tub, with an après ski beer, unless he’s capturing sunset over the Rockies, or alpenglow on the Alps. His perfect ski photo shoot is untracked powder at an exclusive high-alpine location like Yellowstone Club in Montana, off piste in the Alps of Austria or Switzerland, or heliskiing in BC.
