| Read about American resorts! |
|
Somebody somewhere estimated that there are about 300 ski resorts in the States. Perhaps that's a generous estimate and one that includes everything from the mega resorts like Aspen to private hills on farms with a tractor for a ski lift. Even so, there are stacks of great places to ski from New Mexico to Wyoming – and each is quite individual.

You can bank on several things: high levels of service, friendly and enthusiastic staff, meticulously groomed pistes and spacious, high quality accommodation.
The Rockies on the west coast provide wonderful snow conditions. And although resorts are not exactly massive, they're big enough to supply fun for a week or so. And if you seriously cover the miles, most resorts are grouped, so for a little extra travelling in the morning you can ski neighbouring areas as well.
The eastern states of Maine, Vermont and New England have smaller resorts, aimed more at weekenders from the big cities. The snow is not as guaranteed in the east as the west, but snowmaking all over the USA is top-notch.
Americans are strict on alcohol policy - so take your ID if you look under 35, even though the legal drinking age varies from 19, 21 and upwards.

| Eating out doesn't have to be expensive – food is both plentiful and good off the slopes, but don't expect to find lavish restaurants on the mountains. The lifts close early, so long lunches are not the norm. |
