A Press Release from TravelZoo details their Top Ten US Ski Resorts.

“We know from our latest survey that almost 20% of travelers* are planning to take a ski vacation this season,” said Gabe Saglie, a Travelzoo editor. “But even if you don’t get a rush from zipping down a mountain there are a crop of ski resorts that prove there are other ways to enjoy the snow — from ice-skating, spa treatments and hot air ballooning, to cooking classes, dog sled tours and 24-hour gaming, just to name a few.”
In order to find great value when researching ski deals, Travelzoo’s deal experts recommend traveling mid-week to find the best lodging deals and shortest lift lines. Skiers can also save money by booking lift tickets as part of a lodging package. To save on airfare it is often a good idea to opt for flying into major airports and driving to ski destinations instead of flying into smaller airports that may be closer to the destination but could add a great deal more to the ticket price.
