Ski Flight Trips 2020

Looking for a January trip but worried about snow conditions….. don’t our first two trips are to Snowbird/Alta and Winter Park, sure to be great skiing! ⛷ 🏂 ❄️ 🏔 🍻

“All-season mountains

Some resorts make for great snow bets all season, from the holidays to spring break. These places have large annual snowfall averages, smaller standard deviations and plenty of north-facing terrain: the leaders here are Utah’s Alta, Snowbird, Brighton and Solitude. These spots benefit from the funneling effect of the Wasatch’s Cottonwood Canyons, which squeeze significant amounts of snow out of insignificant weather systems. In Colorado, the most consistent bets across the entire winter are Wolf Creek, Winter Park and Loveland, which all combine high elevations, lots of north aspects and some of the larger snow averages in the state. “
