Budget-Friendly Ski Destinations

Want to plan a ski trip this season? If you’ve already began looking into destination options, you likely already know ski trips aren’t always budget-friendly. However, Vrbo aims to please with more affordable offerings in destinations a little off the beaten path. Here are some of Vrbo’s recommendations for budget-friendly ski destinations.

Instead of Park City, Try Sundance

South of Park City, Sundance 3-star hotels start just about $100 per night. One of the top-preferred properties in Sundance, though, is Sundance Mountain Resort, a 4-star resort owned by Robert Redford sitting at the base of Mount Timpanogos.

Instead of Breckenridge, Try Fraser

Slightly north of Breckenridge, Colorado, Fraser is a tiny, tiny town of just more than 1,000 people. The biggest draw to the city is Winter Park, a popular ski resort. In addition to being near several peaks, Fraser is also near Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, home to lots of wilderness areas and the largest natural lake in Colorado.

Instead of South Lake, Try Carson City

Cross state lines and go from South Lake Tahoe in California to Carson City, Nevada, for a more affordable stay. In addition to putting you right near Heavenly Mountain Resort, Diamond Peak and Mount Rose Ski Tahoe, staying in Carson City also guarantees other, non-outdoorsy activities to keep members of your party happy when not all are thrilled about being out in the snow all day. As Nevada’s state capitol, Carson City boasts lots of history and related attractions.
