Skiing in the USA
The wild frontier of American skiing opened up over thirty years ago to British skiers and boarders, when a hardy bunch started to venture west, lured by the promise of abundant snow and exceptional terrain. Their efforts were well rewarded, and the USA is now firmly established as one of the world’s premier ski destinations. Expect un-crowded slopes, great lodging and unparalleled service, wherever you go.
We offer a huge choice of the very best ski hotels, ski condos, private homes and our very luxury ski chalet, Ptarmigan, located in Vail, Colorado. Choose from twenty of the world’s best ski resorts located in the USA including Aspen Snowmass, Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Copper, Steamboat, Winter Park, Telluride, Park City, Snowbird, Squaw Valley, Heavenly, Northstar at Tahoe, Mammoth, Big Sky, Jackson Hole, Killington, Stowe and Sunday River.
