Champagne powder, steep slopes, runs through the woods… In winter sports paradise USA, everyone gets their money's worth. Whether on one board or two, beginner or expert – pure winter fun is guaranteed on this ski holiday.
Colorado:
The largest and most well-known ski areas in North America are found in Colorado. Skiing at 4,000 m above sea level – no problem in Colorado. With 300 days of sun per year and an average snowfall of over 8.5 m, skiing becomes a true experience. Thanks to the large ski areas and fast lifts, waiting times at the lifts is short or there is hardly any crowding on the slopes.
California:
When thinking of California, one thinks more of sun, beach, and surfboard and less about mountains, snow, and winter fun. But that is just what you can find on Mammoth Mountain and on Lake Tahoe. The region around Lake Tahoe counts among the most popular winter sports areas in the USA and even offers the highest concentration of ski and snowboard resorts in all of North America. The breath-taking Sierra Nevada Mountains, the most snow-rich area in the USA with an average annual snowfall of 10 m, as well as 250 days of sun, offer a spectacular backdrop for an absolute top-class winter experience.

Keep the party going! This is the après-ski slogan in the USA. No matter if it is Colorado, California or other ski regions: You will find numerous après-ski facilities everywhere, which appeal to all ages. Those who prefer it cosier can spend a romantic evening in front of the fire in one of the nicer restaurants. By the way, generally you will not book a table in advance, but rather wait at the bar or in the vestibule area until you can be seated. American cuisine is specially well-known for it's grilled beef. In no other country in the world will meat-lovers be catered for so well. No matter if you are looking for a Filet Mignon, New York Steak, T-Bone-Steak, Burger etc., you can have a different meat dish every day. As the waiters/waitresses only earn a low salary, they are dependent on their customers' genourosity regarding a tip. You will be treated friendly and couteous, however you are also expected to offer a tip of approx. 20%. The variety of sporty apres ski facilities is, as almost everything is in the USA, huge: Snowshow hikes, snowmobiling as well as horse and dog-drawn sleigh rides are only some examples. |
