How HomeToGo Produced this Report

The 50 ski resorts were selected based on the most searched ski destinations on HomeToGo for the 2022 season. Prices for lift passes were collected from the ski area websites.

*The lift pass price is for a full day’s skiing for an adult on a typical Saturday this season, outside of peak periods. These prices were researched in December of 2021 and may include discounts that are offered to customers who buy in advance.

**The accommodation price is the median price per person to stay in a vacation rental found on HomeToGo within 2 miles of the ski area, for one night between the dates of December 1, 2021 and April 20, 2022.

All prices in USD. Please note that this is a forecast and that prices may change between now and the upcoming season. Prices exclude sales tax.

***Search trends are based on travelers using HomeToGo searching for accommodation within two miles of a ski lift and check-in from December 1st 2021 to April 20th 2022.

The Top-Rated Ski Resorts in America

The Top-Rated Ski Resorts in America

Ski resorts in the USA are consistently ranked amongst the world's best. Although more expensive and slightly smaller than their European counterparts, the top-rated resorts in the USA enjoy impressive annual snowfalls, offering skiers excellent conditions, and an abundance of powder for months of end. Modern lift facilities and luxurious nearby accommodations, often featuring hot tubs and saunas, keep skiers coming back to their favorite resorts year after year.

  • 1. Deer Valley

    The fact that Deer Valley was a host venue for the 2002 Winter Olympics explains why this resort is held in such high regard. It's a skiers paradise - and is one of the few resorts in the USA that actually bans snowboarders! Its prices are amongst the steepest nationwide, but Deer Valley does offer its upscale clientele a range of benefits - such as a free valet service for carrying ski equipment, as well as other free shuttles around the resort.

  • 2. Vail

    A definite contender for North America's most iconic ski resort, Vail is also one of largest ski areas on the continent, sprawling across more than 5,000 acres. The resort's remarkably high standards of skiing and accommodation on offer means it has become synonymous with luxury and exclusivity. With plenty of more difficult slopes on offer for visitors, Vail is the perfect place for more advanced skiers that can afford to challenge themselves!

  • 3. Breckenridge

    Breckenridge is the ideal destinations for groups of skiers that have differing abilities. The resort has a relatively even split of beginner, intermediate and advanced courses, meaning that every visitor to Breckenridge will get maximum satisfaction from their vacation. The nearby town is extremely quaint and clean, and also boasts a strong local culinary scene that is held in high regard outside of Colorado.
