5 of the Best Bespoke Ski Resorts to Visit This Winter

Powder lovers can hardly wait for the upcoming ski season. Whether your passion is tackling the most difficult slopes, enjoying the majestic beauty of snow-covered mountains, or just enjoying the beauty of winter, you can plan the perfect getaway at one of the ski resorts listed below.

1. The Four Seasons Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Jackson Hole is known for snow, wilderness, and steeps, which makes it the perfect setting for a one-of-a-kind ski resort. Over the years, they have carved out pockets of terrain so that the resort can cater to intense skiers who like the challenge of the steep slopes as well as those who have a lower skill level. You can ride to the top of the mountain in a Gondola enjoying a relatively warmer ride to the top before you click on your skis and start down the mountain.

If you are looking to create a once-in-a-lifetime trip, consider booking your stay at the Four Seasons, which has a commanding presence situated right at the base of the mountain, providing you not only the best in location but amenities as well.


2. Sunshine Mountain Lodge, Sunshine Village, Canada

Located just a short drive from downtown Banff right along the Continental Divide. Significantly smaller than the famed Whistler-Blackcomb of Canada, but it is an under-the-radar treasure. It features the highest lift service in Canada and uncrowded slopes, making it the perfect place for a more romantic or relaxed experience. The area gets not only a significant amount of snow but also sunshine that extends 30 feet up the rocky peaks. There are gentle alpine slopes and bowls and intense runs, complete with cliffs and steep. The ski-in, ski-out lodging has all the modern amenities you could ask for, quaint fireside dining, and even a heated outdoor pool.


3. Steamboat Ski Resort, Steamboat Springs, Colorado

Lodging at the Steamboat Grande is the perfect marriage of luxury and rustic living. You will enjoy fireplace warmed common areas, fine dining, and even a pool with a poolside bistro. The resort offers much more than simply slopes. You can check out the picturesque views of the mountain on a gondola ride, take a ride along the outlaw mountain coaster, enjoy fat tire biking, take a snowmobile ride, or enjoy a one-of-a-kind sleigh ride dinner. The slopes can accommodate any level of skier or snowboarder.


4. The Cliff Lodge, Snowbird Resort, Utah

One of the resorts with the most consistent conditions is the Snowbird Resort, located just a short distance from Salt Lake City. The resort is the destination of many avid skiers who enjoy the reliable snowfall, its natural vertical lines, and its steep face. It is known to have some of the best runs in the country. The resort is primarily visited by serious skiers, and it features many difficult and often intense runs that gear more towards the advanced skier than the novice. Visitors to the Cliff Lodge will enjoy the recent renovations, that now put it on the list of some of the most elite, on-mountain ski hotels.


5. Four Seasons Resort, Vail, Colorado

Sometimes, referred to as the Disneyland for skiers, the Vail area is one of the best-known ski destinations in the United States. The area features over 5,000 acres of treeless back bowls that are so smooth they are a skier's or dream. Unlike many of the other resorts, the city is bustling and features an active night scene and numerous dining options sure to suit any palate. Slopes range in difficulty and intensity, allowing for any level skier to feel comfortable. The Four Seasons will provide you with all the luxury you need during your stay, including spa and ski concierge services.
