American ski holidays are known to be breathtakingly beautiful and feature some of the most advanced ski resorts on the planet.
Although countries such as Canada, Japan and Switzerland are better known for their skiing vacations, everyone who journeys to USA ski resorts comes back smiling.
One of the real bonuses of skiing in America is that the service and facilities are just as good as the more recognised locations, but the slopes are less busy and you will spend less time hanging about in ski lift queues!
Here are a couple of the most popular American ski resorts:
Vail
Vail is a majestic resort that reminds many European visitors of the classic Swiss Alpine Villages. It is prestigious and large, and you won’t get a more authentic skiing experience than from a trip to Vail.
Breckenridge
With more than 2000 acres of serious snow-filled terrain, Breckenridge has a summit at 13000 feet. A massive amount of investment in recent years has seen some top class, well maintained ski slopes emerge. The resort is also notable for its nightlife.
Lake Tahoe
More than 300 kilometres east of San Francisco, Lake Tahoe sits high in the Sierra Nevada. This is where more winter sport is carried out than any other US location, and many rate it as the most beautiful ski site in America.
