Tips / Travel

With the powder piling up, it’s time to start thinking about your next skiing adventure. There is no shortage of places to slide down the slopes, but avid snow bunnies will definitely not want to miss out on these destinations.

 

Chamonix, France

Chamonix Valley is one of the world’s premier ski and snowboarding resorts. It’s home to Mount Blanc, one of the fiercest places to find powder in Europe. The amount of off-piste routes is well above average and the nearby towns are all charming spots to relax.

 

Myoko Kogen, Japan

Myoko is home to numerous ski resorts, many of which are locally owned and operated. It lacks the westernization of most ski destinations, making it a great place to explore local culture while also pounding the powder.

 

Mammoth Mountain, Calif.

Nearly 3,500 acres of wilderness make Mammoth Mountain a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts, especially for skiers who want to tackle the 15 meters of snow that fall each season. There are slopes for every skill level.

 

Banff, Alberta, Canada

Banff is world renowned for its ski and snowboard culture and the surrounding mountains contain more than 8,000 skiable acres. There are numerous double black-diamond runs for snowboarders and great lanes for skiers too.

 

Verbier, Switzerland

Verbier is jam-packed with skiers each year, so it’s hard to find any peace and quiet, but it’s the perfect spot for travelers looking to try the sport. The energy is high and the friendliness of the locals makes it great for those wanting to learn how to ski.
