16Taos, New Mexico

Taos is the best place in the US for a real “old-school” ski adventure. Located a few hours out of Santa Fe, the resort here offers some of the best skiing terrains in the country and an effective blend of modern features with elements of decades past. The mountain may be a bit intimidating but after all, it is for more experienced skiers.

The mountain is challenging but it is not unbeatable. If you’re a novice, don’t avoid Taos. Learn from veteran visitors at the base of the mountain. Soon you will know exactly where all the great places for beginner skiers are, and really be enjoying yourself.  

17Sugarbush, Vermont

Taking the trophy for a “thrill-filled ski trip” is the Sugarbush Resort. Those in the know say it’s easy to lose track of time here. This place covers an area of 4,000 acres and features 111 ski runs.

There are verdant forested areas and a pair of mountains too. Visit the little village at the base of Lincoln Peak where only pedestrians are permitted. It includes attractive boutiques, assorted eateries, and some of the best spas in the entire state. Those in the know say you should stay at Warren Lodge.
