By: Home | Travel-and-Leisure


If you are planing a ski vacation this winter, the United States has hundreds of ski resorts that you can choose from. Many of them offering amenities and guest services that allow them to compete with some of the best five star hotels. With so many available choosing the one that's right for you can be difficult. Here are the top 3 ski resorts in the United States.

â€Jackson Hole Definitely number one on the list, Jackson Hole in Wyoming is made up of two areas, Tetons Village and the Town of Jackson. This area is ideal for anyone that loves natural beauty and snow. Although it is known as some of the toughest skiing in the country, there are also fantastic intermediate and beginner trails available.

Rendezvous Mountain gives you some of the highest in bound terrain available, rated as black and double black diamond trails. Apres Vuos Mountain is considered an intermediate trail that's great for cruising and enjoying the majestic mountain views. Once your day of skiing is finished relax at the Tetons Mountain Lodge and Spa.

This ski resort is located slope side to the Jackson Hole Resort. Warm up next to the fireplace in your room, or make your way to the recently added Solitude Spa. There you can enjoy one of 10 treatment rooms that are available or take a relaxing swim in the heated pool. Top off the evening with a dip in the 24 person rooftop hot tub.

â€Park City Mountain Resort This Ski Resort is number two on the list. Not only is it home to some of the best skiing in the world, but it's also home to the United States Olympic Ski Team. The slopes are great with everything from beginners to "Oh my goodness are you crazy" trails. A bonus this ski resort offers is accessibility.

You can ski directly to Main Street and have a selection of 100 shops and restaurants that you can visit. When you're finished you can ride back to the slopes on the Town Lift. Lodging is plentiful with several convenient locations to choose from. The Resort Plaza is located at he base of Park City Mountain Resort and offers one to four bedroom condo style units, underground parking, and full kitchen units.

â€Squaw Valley This ski resort is number three on the list. Located in the North Lake Tahoe Region of California some of the most awe inspiring slopes can be found here. You will enjoy watching some of the best skiers in the world brave the 100 foot cliffs and some of the ride down lines look almost impossible. If your skills are not quite that of an expert Squaw Valley also offers beginner and intermediate trails as well. Cruising to High Camp Summit gives you a gentle ride with great views of the beautiful mountains.

There are several lodging choices near this beautiful ski resort. The Resort at Squaw Creek has the ability to rival any five star hotel. It is connected to the ski resort through it's own lift system. Suites are equipped with slate entryways and gas fireplaces. The view from your room will allow you to see historic ponderosa forests and beautiful meadowlands. If a bed-and-breakfast inn is more of what you're looking for then Lake Tahoe's North Shore may be more what you're looking for.
