Where would you like to go skiing?

ByThe Miles Professor

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!

Winter is when I like to travel… because who wants to leave New York when the weather is nice? I’ve started writing about winter travel destinations and have been focusing on the Caribbean.

But I realize not everyone wants to escape the cold. Some of you like to embrace the cold! That said, I’d also like to write about some ways to get some nice deals with miles on ski vacations. For that, I need your help!

I’ve only been skiing to a few places myself and want your input. Where does everyone like to go skiing? I will take your input to research the options and provide some ski destination travel tips!

  1. If you like exquisite powder, low expenses, no crowds, and a REAL SKI experience, it’s powder mountain, out of Ogden, Utah. Best kept secret in skiing. Want nite life?- avoid pow pow mountain like the plague!
    :-)

  2. Although I live in Florida now, I was raised and spent most my early years in Maine. So it is with some partiality I say Sugarloaf near Kingfield Maine is where I like to ski. It has both challenging as well as beginner slopes and what I like best is that it is not as crowded as some of the more popular destinations. You can usually find some good package deals there during the season. Additionally. it is a very family friendly ski resort for those who come with kids.
    One of the negatives is that it is a bit of a drive from the Portland airport where most people would fly (if you needed to).

  3. For many reasons, I prefer skiing in the US to Europe, although in the North American off-season, South America and New Zealand are great ski destinations.

  4. I prefer Slat Lake City due to the wide variety of areas available. Eight resorts! Alta, Snowbird, Solitude, Brighton, Deer Valley, Park City, Canyons, and Sundance. Of those eight, I prefer Alta because it is skiers only, no snowboarders.

  7. I too am interested in Big Sky. I havent been yet. but I have been to Whistler and would really like to know the best ways to get there cheaply from the Midwest. it’s always so much more expensive to fly in to Vancouver as opposed to Seattle. Would like to drive less.

    1. Try Allegiant to Bozeman. Hit Bridger Bowl for a day for sure. best ski resort you have never heard of. Google it

  8. In California I’m a big fan of Mammoth, of course you have all the Lake Tahoe resorts. But for other countries: Las Lenas in Argentina, Canterbury club fields, New Zealand, and Niseko in Hokkaido, Japan

  9. Park City (Deer Valley) hands down, not even close. Best town, easiest to get to, best ski hotels (Montaage, St Regis, Stein, Waldorff, etc) and close to Alta and Snowbird if you need some steeps
