Thought I'd post here as my partner and I usually ski in Europe but due to snow levels being low at the mo are thinking about going state side.
Can anyone recommend any resorts? I've heard good things about Breckenridge and the transfer isn't too bad.
I'm an Intermediate skier but hoping to go off piste and my partner, well she was born on ski's :)
West coast
Any advice greatly appreciated :)
Many thanks

Colorado is higher, less snow, more trees, and much harder to get to in general or you drive 3hrs plus from Denver on the infamous I-70.
Mammoth has a lot of snow, that is California as does Squaw right now.
Other options are Revelstoke, Whistler-Blackcomb or Lake Louise in Canada.,
I have TR's here of Alta and Snowbasin.
Good luck.

Sunshine is getting a lot of reviews at the moment. :twisted:

Park City offers three resorts within a few minutes of the town, and the buses are free. Accommodation will cost more though.

Maybe I was looking in the wrong place, but the flights I was looking at cost £500 upwards. For comparison, I managed to get a return flight from the U.K. to Geneva for £60.
And, I think the lift passes are even more expensive than in Europe.
If I wanted to go and ski in the U.S. I think I'd be looking for the cheapest holiday, including everything.

Yes Ally, lift ticket prices are quite a shocker after Europe.

Still, have to go where the snow is and it's looking more and more like Breckenridge, 2 hr drive isn't so bad but Tahoe is well out as we're only going for a week.
Cheers for all the replies though! :)
