By Roger Willows 8 June, 2023 2 mins read

It's time for you to plan your next ski vacation now that the winter season is over. If you're a fan of the sport, you'll be glad to know that there are a host of world-class ski resorts in North America that offer some of the best skiing and boarding around.

Canada's WhistlerBlackcomb remains the number one spot in our ranking. It has a wide range of terrain, and is known for being one of the most luxurious destinations. The Peak 2 Peak gondola connects them at altitudes of up to 400m above the ground.

Although the mountains are only a short distance from the city centre, it's not necessary to take your ski gear. You can also use the free bus service to get to the slopes. This is a great option if you want to spend the whole of the day on the skis, but don't have to worry about your bags.

There are many classic destinations in a country that has a long ski history. But there are also some newcomers that are set to take the world by storm.

Murren (Switzerland)

This picturesque resort is bordered with France and is a popular choice for snow lovers. It has some of the most spectacular slopes in Europe and a selection of high-quality bars.

Morzine (France)

Morzine is a popular ski area in the French Alps. It's accessible to both beginners and experts. Its 650km worth of pistes can be linked to the rest the Portes du Soleil ski resort, which spans across French and Swiss borders. This resort is one of the top places to ski in 2020. It offers everything from tree skiing to high-alpine runs, to blue run cruising.

Breckenridge, Colorado

Breck is a popular ski resort with miles of excellent skiing. It has plenty of wide, mellow cruisers for both beginners and professionals. The mountain is great for families, as it offers lots of family-friendly activities such as Cub Camp for children ages 1 to 6, and Play-n-Ski to kids ages 4 and up.

Stowe, Vermont

Stowe is a must-see if you are planning to visit Vermont for your next skiing vacation. After a long day on the slopes this charming village has plenty to offer. You can relax with local beers at the Trapp Family Lodge or Austrian-style food at the nearby Spruce peak restaurant. The Stowe Cider Uber Scrub is a relaxing experience that includes a full-body massage and a cider-infused body scrub.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming

It might seem counter-intuitive that a resort located at the base of an 11,166-foot mountain would be one of the best places to ski in 2020, but this Wyoming resort is no slouch when it comes to powder. These mountains receive 23 feet of snow annually, and the resort is surrounded by stunning, Swiss-esque natural beauty. This is a unique place to ski and it's worth a visit if you get the chance in 2020.
