Nothing beats the exhilarating rush of skiing down a pristine slope. Whether you’re a pro or an amateur, a cheap skiing vacation might be just what you need to kick off the year. Several resorts have opened up for the 2021 season and have ski vacation deals and packages simply calling your name. We’ve rounded up four of the most affordable, accessible ones that are avalanches of fun to boot.
The Limelight Hotel Ketchum, Idaho
The Limelight Hotel Ketchum is a relatively new, welcoming property that offers high-value amenities. There’s complimentary transportation to town from the resort and once you’re all done and tuckered out with Sun Valley’s ski terrain, you can relax with happy hour in the lounge, hand-tossed pizza, and live music.
Keystone, Colorado
Apart from great skiing for every level, Keystone has family-friendly trails and plenty of off-mountain activities from cheap eats, outlet shopping, and lots more. The ski resort is about 100 miles from Denver International Airport and has Demo, Premium, Sports, and Children’s ski packages. If you book online, you get a 20% discount.
Winter Park, Colorado
The Winter Park Ski Area is arguably the most popular skiing destination in North America. The 3000-acre terrain is suitable for any skiing you’re willing to try from groomers and glades to powder stashes. If you’re on a budget, there are plenty of off-mountain activities and lodging options that are affordable and comfortable. Among the budget-friendly deals on offer, we recommend the mid-week pass that goes for $649 from Monday to Friday.
Banff Ski Resort, Lake Louise
Lake Louise is nestled inside the protected Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. Its locale – right on the border of interior British Columbia and Alberta – ensures excellent conditions for skiers of every stripe. The views are breathtaking and guests can choose from a range of irresistible deals and offers on package trips, skiing lessons, and winter activities like Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, and ice hockey.
