If spring is in the air and you're looking to enjoy a little time out with your college buddies, why not head for the hills and take in a ski holiday? You can enjoy the entire winter fun bang in spring, and there are so many winter resorts that you can explore that such a holiday would be more than just memorable for you and your pals.
Perhaps you have a fair idea of where to go, perhaps not. In case you don't, here are a few ski destinations with good spring break ski deals that you could consider:
Aspen, Colorado
Everyone knows Aspen to be a glamorous resort town where all those with deep pockets holiday. But that shouldn't deter you from spending your Spring break ski vacations here. It has four majestic peaks that are collectively called Aspen Snowmass.
You can have a wonderful time skiing on Buttermilk Mountain, which is considered to be the easiest slope for newbie skiers to ski on in Aspen, hence the name. It's all of 5.3 miles long and has the best pipe facilities and terrain park here. Since you'll be there at the height of the season, you can also enjoy all the concerts, competitions and great night life and dining.
Bretton Woods, New Hampshire
Deep in the heart of the White Mountains, New Hampshire, Bretton Woods is the largest ski area in this state with four terrain parks, and a whopping 101 glades and trails. It does something extra that others don't--it takes you on a vast canopy tour comprising several suspension bridges and treetop zip lines.
Okemo Mountain Resort, Ludlow, Vermont
Here's a budget-friendly resort that would work well for college kids. You can ski free of cost on certain days when you're with an adult who pays. If you're at the slopes at opening time each day, you can even ski for free! So, you can try out the snow beforehand, plus you needn't buy a lift ticket when the weather conditions are unsuitable to skiing. You can expect to have a wonderful time here. Ask for the best spring break ski packages for your group.
Crested Butte, Colorado
You would know this one as CB rather than Crested Butte, as it's one of the top choices of Spring break ski vacations among college students. It has fantastic pipe facilities and two amazing terrain parks. It's not surprising to find some skiing sportspersons on the slopes here. You can ski on the 2.6 mile-long slope extending from Peak all the way to Treasury Run or you could learn how to groom the mountain in a snowcat. At night, be prepared to have a lot of fun, at the Coal Creek Grill, Dogwood Cocktail Cabin, Eldo and Talk of the Town for evening time beer and lively music.
Whiteface Mountains, Lake Placid, New York
This ski resort has 314 acres of skiable ground and is New York's No. 5 largest ski resort. You can do alpine skiing here with the Rockies on your east side. Go ice-skating and bob-sledding with your pals and explore the snowy environs here on snowshoes or on your cross-country skis or take a dog sledding tour.
