If you are considering planning a ski vacation for this next winter season, then you might want to check out the many ski resorts in Utah. In the state of Utah, some of the best mountains and ski slopes can be found. The beautiful mountain ski resorts of this state can also boast what some people call the greatest snow found on earth.

There are more than a dozen top ski resorts located in Utah from which to choose. Each of the resorts include some of the quality features and amenities that rival the five-star resorts. While Utah ski resorts are becoming more popular, they are still relatively quiet and low-key as compared to some of the better known, such as Aspen.

Ski resorts in Utah enjoy excellent skiing conditions all through the winter and some of the resorts even make artificial snow to extend their seasons even more. However, Utah ski areas receive over 500 inches of snowfall annually, so most skiers enjoy the natural dry powder that covers the slopes.

Combine this kind of top notch powder with a wide variety of runs and you will find some of the most exciting and challenging ski slopes. No matter if you prefer to run the carefully groomed trails or if you like to dig into deep fluffy powder, you can find exactly the right skiing adventure for your tastes in the mountain ski resorts of the Rockies.

Almost all the resorts located in Utah will have a nice balance of runs for beginners, intermediates and advanced skiers. This makes a terrific destination for the whole family as there are always runs that match the skill level and experience of members of the whole family.

Ski Chile and experience some fabulous ski resorts perched up high in the majestic Andes mountain range. It is a great destination for a ski or snowboard holiday because you can combine powder skiing with an interesting culture.

Chile is a long narrow country spanning 4,300km (2,600 miles) from north to south yet it averages only 180km (111 miles) wide. It’s the land of startling diversity in regards to its geography and climate. From hot arid deserts in the north, to the chilly (OK, pun intended!) expanses of Patagonia in the south. There are at least 20 ski resorts located in the southern half of the country. As you move further south, the mountains get smaller however the climate gets colder. The most northern resort (and one of the highest) is Portillo, which is 164km northeast of Santiago, close to border of Argentina. Portillo ski resort is world renowned, and is recognized in photos by the distinctive yellow Hotel Portillo set amongst the magnificent backdrop of the snow covered Andes and enormous frozen lake.

Also near Santiago are the ski resorts in the Three Valleys (Tres Valles): the modern and massive world class Valle Nevado, and the interconnected La Parva, El Colorado and Farellones ski resorts. To the southeast of Santiago is little Lagunillas, a non-commercial ski resort. Nearby is Chapa Verde, 145km from Santiago.

About five hours south of Santiago near Chillan is Termas de Chillan (Nevados de Chillan), a hot springs resort that resides on two active volcanoes. Further south is the small family resort of Pucon Villarica. This ski resort is also situated on a volcano, and is popular Read the rest of this entry »
