Advantages: Fast lifts, no queues, Champagne Powder, huge area for all levels Disadvantages: Loud and lairy locals. Long journey to get there. American beer.
I visited SteamboatSprings (SMB) in Dec 00 because I have a friend working there. It was my first experience of a winter sports holiday in the US and I was looking forward to it. All the rumours of high quality snow, fast lifts, minimal queues and great apres-ski had me salivating at the prospect!
I was fortunate to get an cheap low-season flight over to Denver and then I hired a car to get me the 3 hours up to SMB. Next time, I'll probably fly straight in to SMB - I'll explain why later. As I said, I was visiting friends so I had no worries about accomodation although I'm told it can be quite a shock to the wallet if you aren't on a package trip.
The day I arrived was bright sunshine and within 30 minutes I was in the cable car on the way to my first run of the day. The visibility from the top was excellent although I was a bit ...

Whistler – Blackcombe is a skiresort situated about two hours bus journey north of Vancouver in Canada and is quite simply the most incredible skiresort I’ve ever had the fortune of skiing in. Before I begin to wax lyrically about its virtues a little background on myself as regards skiing. I’ve been skiing now for about 15 years having started at the tender age of 7 and until travelling to Whistler I’ve only ever-skied in Europe. In this time I’ve been all over Europe in all the major skiing countries as well as the less well known Andorra, Bulgaria, Finland and Sweden. I say all this not in an attempt to show off but to show that I think I have the credentials to comment on skiresorts.
I actually went to Whistler for two weeks in Easter ‘99 to visit my brother who was ...
Advantages: Great snow, wide range of terrain, great town, wide range of other activities Disadvantages: busy on weekends, altitude.
With the weak dollar it's never been a better time to head across the atlantic to indulge yourself in some powder skiing, tree skiing or if you feel really fancy...heli skiing!
This resort has it all! four mountains to choose from, all of which offer something special! Head to peak 10 if you fancy a bit of tree action, or take advantage of the bowls on all peaks. For the intermediate skier there's plenty of blues, and groomed blacks to improve your techniques or just blast down!
The beginner area around the quicksilver super 6 chairlift has a number of nice wide and easy greens that never seem to be too crowded, and with the 6 man chair lift getting back up is easy!
The town of Breckenridge itself is a lovely place to spend an afternoon or a full day. The buildings are charming and colourful, theres a wide selection of shops ...
