ski resorts

Winter vacation spots

Ski resorts are destinations built around skiing and snowboarding, typically in mountainous areas with reliable snowfall or snowmaking equipment.

They feature groomed trails of varying difficulty, ski lifts, and amenities like lodges, rental shops, and restaurants.

The term covers everything from small local hills to sprawling alpine complexes: We're heading to a ski resort in Colorado for the holidays.

Resort implies vacation atmosphere—après-ski bars, spas, and accommodations are part of the draw.
