Park City Utah

Salt Lake City International Airport offers some of the best skiing in North America within 60 miles of landing. Park City in particular offers all levels of skiing and skiers and snowboarders can combines three world-class resorts just within Park City.

Having visited there most recently I was impressed with the easy access to Park City as well as the incredible amenities the area has to offer. It is a picturesque and quaint old western town hidden high in the mountains. In addition to skiing kids can enjoy seeing Olympic park which is an interactive experience combined with a show.

The amazing and historical Stein Eriksen Lodge offers ski in - ski out equally as impressive are the new St Regis to open in November and the stunning Montage slated to open in late 2010. This town has something for everyone, it offers a relaxed local culture, great food and nightlife and affordable prices.


Telluride Colorado

This ski town might lend toward the more experienced ski family and known for its most recent expansion of ski runs. The resorts vertical drop is know one of the largest in North America at 4,425 feet.

Colorful Victorian homes, clapboard storefronts, boutiques, art galleries, bookstores, gourmet restaurants, historic buildings‚ Telluride offers something for all ages.

Along with an array of holiday festivities this December Telluride will host to the international snowboarding competition sole U.S. stop of the LG FIS Snowboard World Cup and will feature an SBX and PGS competition during what will be the second in a series of five Olympic qualification events for the two sports.


Big Sky Montana
