Where to Ski in the States mid March? Any ideas?

They get a bunch of skiers on the flight from London everyday, so it's pretty obvious you are legit.

Chicago, NY and Miami (shudder) are altogether a different thing.

I can imagine Miami being a bit like Houston was - yowsers :evil:

Great, well it looks like Breckenridge \ Whistler, just a quick question on the Apres Ski in Breckenridge? Does it have any nice bars \ restaurants? My Partners been to Whistler so we no the Apres Ski there is quite good.

Cheers for all the info, loving the fact Breckenridge has had the most snow in living memory! :)

Cheers

Colorado. El Nina is bringing in some amazing snow.

I have just sent a comment about the UNWELCOMING reception you suffer by the Homeland security to DISCOVER AMERICA.COM(BRAND USA).
They point to visa procedures after 9/11 as one motive for setting up the campaign but that is not "holding the bull by the horns".
"To serve&protect" is the motto for the Police in USA but the first human face you get in USA is more "TO FRIGHTEN&DETER" TOURISTS AS THEY ARE ALL TERRORIST UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE

The trouble is Customs & Immigration tend to forget they are part of the travel & tourism package. Yes they have a job to do but doing it in a surly, reluctant way is bad for tourism. Without the tourist most of them would be unemployed!

To gotama186
I totally agree with andymo12.
It was in Denver where I felt not only UNWELCOMED but FRIGHTENED

Despite the black cloud of Homeland Security I would give USA a go and I´m thinking about late March or even APRIL skiweek.
My first thought is for Deer Valley/Park City Resorts.
Someone mentioned having Salt Lake City as base camp and enjoy as well the Brighton/Alta resorts.
As you see UTAH is my first choice as been to Breck and Vail other times.
What about ASPEN?
I like the service Vail provides that is why I chose Deer Valley.

I wonder if I could end in Europe as Zermatt is good for late skiing. Looking forward for the link between Zermatt and Monterrosa

Bit early to be worrying about snow levels in Europe. Although there was a warm dry spell in summer most of Europe's glaciers are looking in good condition and already freezing level is stable around 3200m. Everything is looking positive for another good season, with heavy snowfall in some areas.

At least another 8 weeks before have to pay any real attention to webcams.

I always fancied Park City or Steamboat in US.
