If you want to experience skiing during the Christmas and New Year's holiday season, there are a few things you need to consider. To ensure the perfect winter vacation, you want to pick a ski resort which has a lot of snow early season. In general, we recommend resorts in Colorado which have snow making capabilities, high elevation and colder temperatures. Secondly, you want to book your trip early to take advantage of special offers and discounts. Look to book a ski package which bundles lodging with ski passes to save. Lastly, pick a mountain village with the right vibe for you, be it a lively scene of apres ski with lots of special festive activities such as firework displays and sleigh rides or a quieter Christmas in a cozy chalet. Below are ski resort packages that are great for Christmas and New Years.
