Ski Portillo is a timeless destination offering a ski vacation rich in culture, family-owned hospitality, and breathtaking natural beauty, making it the ultimate 'ski-in-summer' destination.

Utah's ski season, like much of the western United States, was a bit of a dud. Snowstorms were few and far between, weather was warm, and many trails were wet and slushy.

Vail Village is where it all started... The original vision of creating a ski village, similar to what our founders envisioned from their experiences in Europe-particularly while serving as 10th Mountain soldiers-formed the foundation of a car-free, walkable street base village. Here, you'll find chalet-style buildings with detailed wood carvings and flower-filled window boxes.

"Our ops teams have been working magic all winter long, but even that magic can't really fight back what Mother Nature has delivered at the tail end of this season for us."

The new shuttle will operate on a first-come, first-served basis, providing convenient access to Kirkwood for skiers and snowboarders.

Both avid and casual skiers know that winter requires preparation. If you want to ski as many days as possible, you must have a game plan. After all, skiing is an expensive sport, so budget is typically one of the top considerations. But before you book flights, hotels, and lift tickets, or decide if you want to invest in an Epic Pass or Ikon Pass, you'll need to identify which ski resorts you want to explore over the course of a few months.

Thanks to the millions of baby boomers hitting retirement age, powder hounds in their 60s and 70s (and beyond) are an increasingly common sight on the slopes. In contrast to the popular stereotype of sun-seeking snowbirds, many older adults head straight to their favorite mountain each year when winter hits. But it turns out some ski resorts are better than others when it comes to catering to senior skiers' needs.

After four stays-and countless drop-ins for an après moment-it's the hotel I trust most, delivering frictionless days on and off the slopes. Welcome to Rebooked, Condé Nast Traveler's new column where we share the properties our editors and contributors loved so much, they've booked them over and over (and over!) again. Travel journalists have their pick of the litter-so you know these are something special.

As The New York Times reported, the average cost of a single-day lift ticket in the U.S. hit an astonishing $250 in the 2024 season. And, again, that's the average. It's also only the cost of a ticket, so you'll still need to pay for food and drinks, lessons (if you need them), and a hotel if you plan to stay overnight.

Fresh snow is what turns ordinary runs into powder days, and every skier knows the thrill of waking up to see a few extra inches (or feet) on the mountain report.

In Vermont, Stowe Resort will host its 70th Annual Sunrise Service on April 5. Guests can celebrate Easter morning with a truly special nondenominational sunrise service on top of Vermont's highest peak, co-hosted with the Stowe Community Church. This long-standing tradition is open to all.

The skis bring Ore-Ida's unmistakable look straight to the slopes, complete with bold crinkle cut ridges, a golden fry themed topsheet, and a ketchup red background that pops against the snow. They are playful, loud, and unapologetically fun, but this is not just novelty gear. Fischer's involvement means these are legitimate, slope-ready skis designed to perform and not just hang on a wall.
