Spring Break Ski Vacation Guide
Many Spring Breakers forgo sunny beaches for snow-covered ski slopes. Since it’s neither cheap nor easy to pursue the sport of skiing and snowboarding on a whim, people use their week-long March vacation to gather with fellow snow-loving athletes at resorts such as Winter Park and Heavenly Lake Tahoe. While Spring Break ski trips are hugely popular, they’re not as “in” as beach trips, so you’ll find less crowds in Colorado than in Panama City Beach or Cancun. However, early to mid March is a prime time for skiers to engage in their favorite wintertime activity, so plan ahead and hunt down those bargains!
Great Spring Break Ski Destinations
So, you know you want to hit the powder this Spring Break… but what powder? Where can you find the best skiing this time of year? Colorado offers up the best springtime terrain for skiers. From Crested Butte to Vail, Colorado ski resorts are filled to the brim with fun-loving Spring Breakers every March. If you hope to avoid massive crowds and tedious lift lines, lean toward resorts outside Colorado – like Heavenly Lake Tahoe in Nevada, Jackson Hole in Wyoming, and Whistler Blackcomb in Canada. Or seek out some off-the-beaten-path mountains – they may even be a short drive away, saving you a long road trip or expensive airplane ride. While you won’t be the only skier on the slopes, you’ll enjoy more privacy than skiers at Winter Park.
How to Save Money
Unfortunately, Spring Break is a peak week for many ski resorts, so you’ll have trouble finding cheap airline tickets or hotel rooms. There are ways to save your pennies, though! The first thing to do is plan ahead. If you can sharpen up all your plans now, rather than in a few months, you’ll be able to take advantage of great deals – especially when it comes to airline tickets.
Secondly, choose a ski in out condo or vacation rental for your trip over resort-style lodging. We’ve got a slew of ski in out condos and homes right here and we make it easy for you to inquire about the accommodations you’re interested in.
Try a Winter Park ski in out condo, Jackson Hole vacation rental, Vail cabin rental, Beaver Creek luxury lodge, Lake Tahoe vacation house, or Whistler ski cabin! With such a variety of options, you won’t have any problem finding the right ski trip accommodation.
But variety isn’t the only advantage of a ski in out condo or vacation rental. The real prize is in the money you’ll save. Compared to a hotel or resort-style vacation home, you’ll pay very little… and for more room, amenities, and luxuries!
Many ski trips involve families and big groups, which creates the opportunity for even more savings. If every group member chips in for a private ski condo, cabin, or home, everyone will find a Spring Break ski vacation extremely affordable. You can even eat dinner together in your ski cabin rental instead of spending expensive nights out on the town. What this all means is more money to put away in your savings or splurge with at the ski base.
A ski vacation rental is ideal for all kinds of vacationers – couples, teens, and toddlers alike will appreciate it. That’s because you can handpick the ski vacation rental that makes sense for your unique trip. Choose the size, amenities, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, location, and kitchen style of your vacation rental – make it your ideal home away from home and don’t spend money on things you don’t need!
