Colorado

If altitude is what you seek, this U.S. state is the dream destination for your inner ski hound, thanks to its endless sunny days and snow of exceptional quality.

Aspen Snowmass, Breckenridge, Steamboat and Vail, which I have called home for the last two years, are among my Top 5 best ski destinations in Colorado. Aspen—considered the ski mecca for the rich and famous— which includes four incredible ski areas and après-ski unlike anywhere else. Colorado is also home to the Breckenridge Ski Resort, which boasts the most stunning views and suits all budgets. Looking for something with more of an authentic vibe? Steamboat Resort has just what you need, with its charming Old West feel and renowned hot springs—not to mention the enormous Vail ski resort (subdivided into 4 areas), which has something for everyone, both on the slopes and in town. As your Gendronski representative, I can’t wait for you to join me on the slopes this winter! //
