Colorado is the king of ski vacation destinations. When skiing Colorado, the
I-70 ski corridor as its called brings you to Copper Mountain, Loveland and
Winter Park, then A-Basin, Breckenridge, Keystone and our favorites, Vail and
Beaver Creek. Other Colorado resorts Aspen, Steamboat, Telluride, Crested Butte
and Durango are more remote Rocky Mountain resorts, ideal for destination
vacations. Colorado ski vacations promise plenty of sun and snow. Non-skiers
will find plenty of winter sports beside skiing and snowboarding in Colorado.
You can snowmobile, snowshoe or go cross-country skiing in Colorado. Many
Colorado ski resorts offer dog sledding and sleigh rides.
Vail was one of the first ski mountains in North America, and today it is the
largest ski area, with over 5,000 acres of fresh powder awaiting you in the Back
Bowls. A Vail vacation allows you to enjoy sister ski resorts Beaver Creek,
Breckenridge, Keystone, and Arapahoe Basin – all on one ski pass. Ski deals at
Vail range from renting a condo to staying in one of the lodges in Vail Village;
take your pick between Arabelle or Lodge at Vail – both Rock Resorts or
the Ritz
Carlton at Bachelor Gulch in Beaver Creek. Vail now boasts a new skiers W Hotel and a St Regis Vail. Skiing Vail is awesome, but save
some energy for Vail’s nightlife and Vail’s gourmet restaurants. You also must
visit Gorsuch, our favorite ski boutique.
Aspen is the ski town for celebrities and expert skiers alike. To properly ski
Aspen, you have 4 ski mountains to conquer – Snowmass, Aspen, Aspen Highlands
and Buttermilk (home of the Winter X-Games). More legendary than Aspen’s ski
slopes is the après ski in Aspen. The Aspen shopping scene is another
distraction from the ski slopes. This western ski town has the finest ski
hotels, St Regis, Hotel Jerome, and Little Nell, and an avalanche of après ski
bars and Aspen nightlife. If you prefer condominium lodging, The Snowmass Club
has nicely appointed townhouses, and the concierge will stock your pantry and
refrigerator prior to your arrival.
Steamboat is a great ski town, this is cowboy country with a skier’s vibe to
boot. The Steamboat Grand Hotel, a four diamond, is steps to the gondola so you
can have first tracks in Steamboat’s Champagne powder. For après ski, visit the
Strawberry Park hot springs, or take the gondola to a mountaintop dinner at
Hazie’s or a sleigh ride to Ragnar’s for a candlelit cabin dinner.
