Picture this: pristine powder sparkling under the sun, crisp mountain air filling your lungs, and world-class slopes calling your name. Welcome to Colorado, where skiing is elevated to an art form, and every turn on the mountain offers a little more winter magic than the last.
Nestled in the heart of the Rockies, Colorado isn’t just for ski enthusiasts—it’s a winter playground at the intersection of luxury and adventure. With an impressive lineup of iconic resorts, impeccable snow, and après-ski experiences that rival the slopes themselves, this is the ultimate haven for those seeking an unforgettable ski holiday.
Why Ski Colorado?
Colorado’s ski scene is unparalleled, thanks to its high-altitude terrain and legendary snowfalls—many resorts see over 300 inches of snow each year. The result? A ski season that stretches for months and powder so soft it feels like floating. And, when the sun shines (which it often does), the Rockies come alive with breathtaking beauty, creating a skiing experience as stunning as it is exhilarating.
Colorado’s Most Coveted Ski Resorts
Colorado’s 40+ ski resorts offer something for everyone, from pristine beginner slopes to adrenaline-pumping black diamonds. But if you’re craving the best of the best, these resorts promise not only exceptional skiing but also luxurious amenities that elevate your stay:
Aspen Snowmass
Sophistication and adventure come together at Aspen Snowmass. With four mountains offering diverse terrain, you can challenge yourself on Aspen Highlands’ expert runs or enjoy Buttermilk’s beginner-friendly slopes. Pair your ski days with the high-end dining, art galleries, and luxury shopping that make Aspen a global icon. Stay in style at Hotel Jerome, an Auberge Resort, where historic charm meets modern luxury. Our VP of Sales and Operations, Kathy Johns highlights, “Hotel Jerome offers a lively, warm atmosphere, gorgeous décor, and central location in town. With spacious connecting rooms, it’s perfect for families, too.”
The St. Regis Aspen Resort also comes highly recommended by Kathy. Its newly refreshed rooms are light, bright, and thoughtfully designed. “The views straight up the mountain from the balcony are absolutely breathtaking—worth every penny,” says Kathy.
Vail
Spanning over 5,000 acres, Vail is an expansive paradise for ski lovers. Its famous Back Bowls are thrilling for seasoned skiers, while groomed trails cater to families and leisure seekers. Off the slopes, Vail Village is quick to charm with its European-inspired atmosphere, fine dining, and luxury accommodations. For an unforgettable stay, book The Arrabelle at Vail Square, a RockResort, offering ski-in/ski-out convenience and alpine elegance. Vail local and McCabe World Travel’s Independent Affiliate, June Misner notes, “The Arrabelle is ideal for families, with the kids' ski school just across the courtyard and a vibrant area filled with restaurants, shopping, and even an ice-skating rink.”
June also recommends Sonnenalp in Vail Village. It’s one of the oldest iconic family run hotels in Vail. It’s a great option for families, but with its Bavarian-inspired luxury and an incredible spa, the hotel may be even more perfect for couples or girls' getaways.
Breckenridge
Where small-town charm meets big mountain energy, Breckenridge offers the perfect balance. Ski the highest lift-served peak in North America, then stroll through a vibrant town brimming with boutique shops, craft breweries, and warm hospitality. Consider staying at One Ski Hill Place, for a mix of rich history and modern sophistication—think grand mountain views, personalized service, and a storied past brought to life through its iconic décor and vibrant social scene.
Telluride
Tucked away in a remote box canyon, Telluride’s known for its epic views, lively festivals, and small town charm. Enjoy uncrowded slopes, challenging terrain, and a ski-in/ski-out luxury that feels worlds away from the everyday. It’s the perfect blend of adventure and charm, making it an unforgettable destination for any skier. Auberge’s The Madeline Hotel & Residences, offers an elevated mountain retreat with unbeatable access to the slopes.
Steamboat Springs
Celebrated for its trademark “Champagne Powder,” Steamboat Springs delivers a dreamy ski experience with a Western twist. Think wide-open runs, family-friendly vibes, and evenings spent soaking in natural hot springs. Stay at The Steamboat Grand for its inviting warmth, prime location, and luxurious amenities.
Beyond the Slopes
Skiing is just the beginning in Colorado. Unwind after a day on the mountain with après-ski cocktails, relaxing spa treatments, or a fireside dinner featuring locally sourced cuisine. Stroll through storybook towns, enjoy a sleigh ride through snowy meadows, or simply enjoy the luxury of doing nothing at all.
