5 Emerging Ski Towns You Need to Check Out
Planning a winter ski trip is an annual event for many Canadians. Whether you are going with family or friends, it’s a great way to enjoy the winter weather, get some exercise, and get some time away from the daily grind.
While you ideally want to ski at the best know ski destinations around the world, so does everyone else. And you know what that means – higher prices, overcrowding, and a more tourist focused atmosphere.
Many Canadians are taking a different approach to booking their ski trips. They are seeking out smaller, up-and-coming ski towns for their vacations. Why? They tend to cost less, they are a new place to ski, and you will have a better chance booking accommodations.
Here are 5 emerging skis towns to consider for the holidays:
1. Reno, Nevada
Reno is not only known for its gambling and casinos. It’s also quickly becoming a preferred ski destination for people across North America. So, book your ski trip, and test your luck on the slopes and in the casino.
2. Durango, Colorado
There is no doubt Colorado is one of the most popular states for skiing. However, rather than opting for the more popular and more expensive ski towns, Durango is the perfect option for a cost effective family ski vacation. Also known for other activities such as mountain biking, kayaking, and winter activities, there will be something for everyone in the family to enjoy.
3. Nelson, British Columbia
A perfect location for skiers looking for a place that is off the beaten path. Known for its local artists, unique downtown area, and counter culture demeanor, it’s the perfect place to visit if you are looking for a place that is unique and will help you forget about everyday life.
4. Revelstoke, British Columbia
Another great option in BC is Relelstoke. Known for the verticality of its mountains and ski trails and the uncanny amount of snow the region gets each year – two things all skiers are looking for. It’s the epicenter for heli-skiing and the perfect place for thrill seekers to test their limits.
5. Red Lodge, Montana
Only a short flight from almost anywhere in Canada, Red Lodge is the perfect destination for a family ski trip. Book a cost effective Rocky Mountain ski trip in this small town where you can avoid the crowds and ski at your own pace.
