Top 11 U.S. Destinations to Hit the Slopes This Holiday

8. Big Sky
If you want to escape the crowds that often populate busier resorts like Vail and Aspen, head to Big Sky, Montana. This ski area, and the adjoining Moonlight Basin, only get around 3,000 visitors per day in ski season, which means that you’ll often share a ski run with only one or two other people. It’s one of the largest areas in the country at 5,800 acres, and they have an impressive snow record — they regularly see more snow than any of the Colorado resorts. While the ski area is large, the resort village is small since they only have a few hotels in the area.
A six-day lift pass is $714, which gives you access to Big Sky, Moonlight Basin, and Spanish Peaks.
