The following killer Colorado ski destinations represent not only the best places in the state to hit the slopes, but also some of the most gorgeous vistas anywhere in North America.

You can spend a lifetime visiting everywhere there is to ski in Colorado, but let’s get started with five of the best!

The 5 Best Ski Destinations in Colorado

#1: Arapahoe Ski Basin

Located in the White River National Forest in Colorado Rocky Mountains, the Arapahoe Basin is known throughout the world for some of the most magnificent Alpine Skiing available. The ski season at Arapahoe runs long, allowing skiers to take advantage of the slopes until June – while most other resort areas close down during May. You can choose from three large ski lodge structures in Arapahoe – each offering a variety of difficulty levels and vistas.

#2: Snowmass

Close by the skiing Mecca of Aspen, Colorado is Snowmass, perhaps the most well-known ski resort in the United States. The mountains of Snowmass span over 3,000 acres and offer a complex union of top skiing that meets the needs of competitive skiers and novices alike. Staying at the Snowmass Resort is an experience in and of itself, offering five-star accommodations and all the amenities of the finest hotels in the world.

#3: Steamboat

Nestled on the gorgeous Mount Werner in the Routt National Forest, Steamboat Ski Resort is one of Colorado’s oldest and most advanced ski areas. Well over 80% of the ski trails at Steamboat are classified as intermediate or higher level – so bring your “A” game when you come to Steamboat.

#4: Telluride

Telluride Ski Resort is a serious destination for committed lovers of the sport. Located in one of the most remote areas of Colorado, Telluride is an all-inclusive resort free of “weekend warriors” and quick overnight drop-ins from nearby cities. As for the skiing at Telluride, it doesn’t get any better in Colorado, with three of the top ski areas in the country: Prospect Bowl, Black Iron Bowl and Revelation Bowl.

#5: Vail

While certainly not a contestant in the “best value” category, Vail remains high on the list of “places to ski before you die.” What makes Vail such an incredible destination is the anchor of the city – The Vail Ski Resort. The single largest ski resort in the United States, Vail has enough difficult slopes to keep advanced skiers busy for years, but also features a considerable number of beginner and intermediate areas as well.

Downhill Slide: Why the Corporate Ski Industry is Bad for Skiing, Ski Towns, and the Environment $8.19 In this impassioned expose, lifelong skier Hal Clifford reveals how publicly traded corporations gained control of America?s most popular winter sport during the 1990s, and how their greed is gutting ski towns, the natural environment, and skiing itself.

Art of Skiing: Vintage Posters from the Golden Age of Winter Sport $27 This book is a must-have gift for anyone interested in skiing or in the art of the poster. Organized by country, it features the world’s foremost winter sport by drawing on an unparalleled collection of 800 vintage posters and paintings. Amassed by Mason Beekley over a lifetime dedicated to the celebration of all things skiing, the collection is now housed at the Mammoth Ski Museum in California and open to the public. In the 1910s and 1920s, skiing became the “in” thing among the young and the fashionable, who made such glamorous resorts like St. Moritz, Chamonix, and Garmisch famous. Like car racing, skiing was one of the sports that defined the twentieth-century’s notion of the modern. It combined fast-paced action with the need to appear in stylish, sporty yet appropriate attire. Since it took place away from everyday urban life in remote and breathtaking mountain locations, it also combined the romance of travel with the stylishness of après-ski social life and ski chalet rusticity. Even in the steamship era, skiing quickly jumped the Atlantic and spawned such now famous ski resorts such as Vermont’s Stowe, Colorado’s Aspen, and Canada’s Banff and Whistler (all featured here in their pre-war glamour). The book is rounded out by chapters on the contemporary skiing scene and on skiing fashion.

Ski Style: Sport and Culture in the Rockies $29.95 Visitors to Colorado’s famous ski resorts embrace alpine adventures, luxurious amenities, and a glamorous nightlife, all against a backdrop of towering mountains and high-drifted snow. Wherever they go in search of fresh powder, one thing is certain: skiing has become a major part of recreational sport and culture and, in the process, dramatically altered America’s social, physical, economic, and imaginative landscapes. Annie Coleman has written the first cultural history of skiing in the United States, telling how this European sport evolved into an American industry combining recreation, tourism, consumption, and wilderness–along with a solid dose of exhilaration and a dash of celebrity. She reveals how the meaning of skiing changed over the twentieth century, how sport and leisure in America came to be about status and style as much as about physical activity, and how modern consumer culture merged the mythic West with real western places. Coleman traces skiing from its Norse roots and Alpine influences through the utility of ski travel in the winter Rockies to the rise of Colorado resorts. Much more than a history of the sport, her work explains how the recreation industry sold the experience of skiing and created mythic mountain landscapes with real problems–and a ski culture that exalts celebrity and status over the physical act of skiing. Along the way, Coleman looks at bums, bunnies, betties, and everyone else who uses the sport to define who they are and how they fit in. Today’s skiers are more diverse than they were half a century ago (though chances are they’re wealthier), and even snowboarders have joined the very culture they once opposed–reviving places like Aspenthrough a subversive youth culture gone mainstream. The allure of white powder at high altitudes, manicured ski runs designed to frame picture-perfect views, the illusion of danger–the American skiing experience is all of this and more. Extensively researched and engagingly written, Ski St

The Art of Skiing: Vintage Posters from the Golden Age of Winter Sport $20 This book is a must-have gift for anyone interested in skiing or in the art of the poster. Organized by country, it features the world’s foremost winter sport by drawing on an unparalleled collection of 800 vintage posters and paintings. Amassed by Mason Beekley over a lifetime dedicated to the celebration of all things skiing, the collection is now housed at the Mammoth Ski Museum in California and open to the public. In the 1910s and 1920s, skiing became the “in” thing among the young and the fashionable, who made such glamorous resorts like St. Moritz, Chamonix, and Garmisch famous. Like car racing, skiing was one of the sports that defined the twentieth-century’s notion of the modern. It combined fast-paced action with the need to appear in stylish, sporty yet appropriate attire. Since it took place away from everyday urban life in remote and breathtaking mountain locations, it also combined the romance of travel with the stylishness of après-ski social life and ski chalet rusticity. Even in the steamship era, skiing quickly jumped the Atlantic and spawned such now famous ski resorts such as Vermont’s Stowe, Colorado’s Aspen, and Canada’s Banff and Whistler (all featured here in their pre-war glamour). The book is rounded out by chapters on the contemporary skiing scene and on skiing fashion.

The Magnificent Mountain Women $16.95 Since the Pikes Peak gold rush in the mid-nineteenth century, women have gone into the mountains of Colorado to hike, climb, ski, homestead, botanize, act as guides, practice medicine, and meet a variety of other challenges, whether for sport or for livelihood. Janet Robertson recounts their exploits in a lively, well-illustrated book that measures up to its title, The Magnificent Mountain Women. Arlene Blum provides a new introduction to this edition.
