Recommendation for Anniversary Ski Trip Next Year
Posted on 2/24/26 at 7:47 am

My wife and I (no pics) are going on a 10 year anniversary ski trip. We are trying to figure out where to go within the US. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Whitefish, MT
Big Sky, MT
Sun Valley, ID
Jackson, WY
Telluride, CO
Avoid the crowds at CO's I-70/north central resorts, as well as Park City, UT crowds. For 10yr anniversary, go somewhere nicer and less crowded. Yall will appreciate the experience.

Depends what you are looking for? If you want intermeidate level I would look at Big Sky, Aspen, Deer Valley and Sun Valley. Jackson is nice but it is a bit steeper then the others. Never been to Telluride but it looks absolutely awesome.

I would also add Whistler as an option. I know it is in Canada, but it has been the best couples trip we went to, by far. Bobsledding, Scandinavian spa, ice rooms with vodka tasting.

Big Sky is an awesome mountain for skiing, but there isn't much else to do there. Kinda like a man's man. Big sky is a skier's ski resort.

Parts are steep like Jackson. But just like Jackson there are parts of it that are fine for all levels. You can kinda make of the resort what you want.
Aspen is a bit more upscale if that's what you want (to be "around" rich people... and have lots of restaurant and shopping options). I liked snowmass mountain more than either ajax or highlands.
I find the old mining towns that happen to have ski mountains to be much better to visit than ski mountains that then built the town.

I'm happy to show any poster around for some fun shite beyond the mountain whenever they are around. That said, the main activity here off mountain is copious substance abuse.

I’d also look into Lake Tahoe; plenty to do around there with several ski areas nearby - Heavenly is right in town at S Lake Tahoe and is similar to the big CO resorts, Northstar is good too. Reno airport is only about an hour & a half away and not a bad drive at all.

Snowmass. Can fly into the airport right there and you have Aspen plus the Roaring Fork Valley for non-ski things and food.
Snowmass is probably my favorite mtn in the state. You have the 4 mtns so you could hit somewhere different each day and that valley is one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Always enjoyed Sun Valley, but we did that long drive from Boise rather than flying into Hailey.
We know spend a big portion of our season in Winter Park, CO. It’s by far the easiest ski to get to from Denver/Boulder.

I know you said within US, but probably for the same price you could do Austria...
The lift tickets and what not is so much cheaper there. Wife and i have done Ischgl, Mayrhofen, Kitzbuhel, etc
