Colorado
offers some of the best ski resorts in
North America
and plenty of choices for skiers of all levels.
Colorado
is home to high profile ski destinations like
Aspen
, Breckenridge and Vail.
Aspen Snowmass is actually four resorts in one - Snowmass,
Aspen
Mountain
,
Aspen
Highlands
and Buttermilk. Each mountain has advantages. For instance: Buttermilk is geared towards beginner and intermediate skiers with wide-open trails while Aspen Highlands is the extreme skiers dream. Vacation home rentals range from an affordable cozy studio for two across from the gondola in the heart of town for as low as $450 per week to living like the rich and famous in a grand estate featuring five or more bedrooms and loads of amenities for $25,000 per week.
Breckenridge has a lot of terrain for beginners to pros and plenty to do on and off the slopes. It is also part of the Vail Resorts 5 mountain season pass that allows locals to ski at five resorts for the season for $369 (Unlimited skiing at A-Basin, Keystone, Breckenridge and 10 days at Vail/Beaver Creek).
Vail offers a complete ski experience on and off the slopes. As the “grand daddy of
Colorado
ski resorts,” Vail is consistently named one of the top resorts in the U.S. Picture a ski-in, ski-out luxury vacation rental three-bedroom condo (sleeping nine) with all the first-class amenities for a perfect ski vacation. Travelers considering a
