Ski holidays in the USA12 June 2009  The United States is home to some of the best ski resorts and most breathtaking terrain in the entire world. Many people travel from all over the world to take their ski holidays in the USA, especially in the Rocky Mountains of the American West. Colorado, Utah and California all boast world class skiing, but choosing a destination for your American ski holiday should depend most on what kind of conditions, lodging, and activities you’d like to enjoy while you’re there. Are you interested in improving your skiing skills with a private lesson, or attempting a new snow sport like snowboarding? Will you be bringing your children or pets along? Do you want to stay in the resort’s village where you’ll be close to shopping and dining, or would you like more privacy in a secluded cabin or bed and breakfast? All of these questions will help you plan the most enjoyable ski vacation.
The Colorado Rockies offer skiing conditions and lodging options for all types of skiers, from advanced to beginner. If you’re traveling in a group of four or more people, perhaps a house or cabin is the type of lodging that would work best for your ski vacation. Houses, from one to six bedrooms are available in Aspen, Winter Park, Vail and other resort towns in the Colorado Rockies. These houses usually include multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, a living area, full kitchen for preparing meals together and sometimes a deck or hot tub. Staying in an independent house might involve a short drive to the slopes in the morning.
Ski accommodation is also available in the condos, apartments and hotel rooms situated right at the resort. Staying in the resort village has its advantages, like being able to walk from your room or condo directly to the base lifts. Village life at the ski resorts in Colorado Rockies can be exciting, as almost all the resort villages offer shopping, dining, music, dancing and bars just steps away from your door. If you prefer full-service accommodations with a more personal feel, consider staying in one of the many privately-owned bed and breakfasts sprinkled throughout the Rockies. Typically, bed and breakfasts offer an evening reception for guests to meet the hosts and each other, and almost all include a morning meal in the room price. Bed and breakfasts are a good choice for skiers looking for a unique experience during their vacation.
