Plan Your Ski Vacation

First, plan that ski vacation – the big one you’ve been dreaming about. Set your budget and head to our site to find Skier Deals and see what’s available. You’ll be able to select the U.S. state or Canadian province you want to visit and then select a specific resort. California and Colorado offer the most extensive selection in the West, but you’ll be surprised at all our ski destinations across the U.S. and Canada.

If you live on the East Coast, maybe plan a pilgrimage West to finally experience some epic Colorado skiing at Aspen, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Keystone, Vail, or Telluride. Or see what California love is all about with a visit to Big Bear, Northstar, or Palisades Tahoe. If you’ve skied the West to death, think about a trip back East. Stowe and Smuggler’s Notch in beautiful Vermont await. Or test your mettle at top ski resorts in New York, Maine, or New Hampshire. We have deals for them all.

Begin by looking at ski vacation packages. It’s easy to find great value and huge savings with a ski vacation package. These are ski bundles that can include airfare, lodging, ski rentals, lift tickets, dining and drink vouchers, or other perks. You should be able to save 10% to 40% off in most cases, sometimes more. Each deal is different, so read the descriptions thoroughly and take notes as you go along. (Calculate your savings so you know how much you can spend on your second trip!)

Big Savings

If you find a ski bundle that works for you, that’s perfect. If not, browse our specific deals for lodging, lift tickets, ski rentals, transportation, and activities and tours. You should be able to find savings for every aspect of your trip. Get your lodging and travel arrangements squared away first, then focus on your
lift tickets and ski gear.

Some other tips to save money on your ski vacation include booking late-season stays (late March-close) or mid-week stays (Monday-Thursday). If you plan to fly, book your airfare early for the best rate, or keep an open eye for flash sales and other savings. Signing up for our newsletter and following us on social media will also keep you in the know for all the best deals.

Once you’ve finalized your first vacation plans, add up your savings. This will give you a good idea of how much you can spend on your second getaway.

Save so much money on your first vacation that you can afford a second ski getaway? It’s possible if you follow these easy steps:

Take a Bonus Ski Trip

If you stacked enough Skier Deals, you should have a nice wad of cash left over for a second vacation. Remember that this bonus vacation probably won’t be as extravagant as the first, but it should provide a unique experience and a memorable getaway. Who doesn’t like to try something new?

Depending on what you were able to save on the first trip, set your budget for your second getaway. Since your budget is made up primarily of money you saved through discounts and coupons, we’ll eliminate some pricey items on this vacation list and keep it simple. For this second trip, plan on more of a weekend getaway somewhere close to home.

Once you’ve set your budget, go on our website and browse ski resorts close to your home. We have specials all over North America, so you should be able to find something within driving distance from home. We have coupons and deals for skiing in Alaska, Arizona, Connecticut, Idaho, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, among others. Driving on your second vacation will save you money if you don’t have substantial fuel costs, car maintenance, or hotel stays. (If you can’t reasonably drive; you should be able to find a cheap flight to one of these destinations.)

Take Your Pick

If you live on the East Coast, peruse the list and find your next snowy challenge in New England or along the Eastern Seaboard. Westerners also have a long list from which to choose, but those who benefit the most are skiers and riders in the Midwest. Vacationers from the Ohio River to the Great
Plains can head in either direction.

Find a ski resort close to home and start with “Ski Vacation Packages.” Just like the major resorts in Colorado and California, there are affordable ski bundles here that can save you big time. Just like the first trip, dig through our extensive list of deals and piece together savings if you can’t find a bundle that works for you. Use as many coupons as you like! Score deals on dining, lift tickets and ski rentals. Find and book a comfortable slopeside ski lodge condominium and get ready to make fresh turns in the powder.

Skiing at a smaller resort usually means shorter lift lines and fewer people on the mountain. Sometimes smaller resorts will offer exclusive deals for stays and skiing that are better than the big resorts. If you live near a smaller resort, look at it first, then move on to larger resorts. You may need more money to afford your dream destination but look at this trip more as a bonus getaway earned from your savings on the first. And keep in mind: You just pulled off a twofer, so you should be proud!
