Go West For The Best Ski Resorts

 As the fall months quickly lead into the winter months, avid skiers and snowboarders are eager to catch a glimpse of the first snowfall. At the same time, many of the best ski resorts in the West are preparing to welcome their guests who come to enjoy the winter activities around their facilities.


When people think of California, they often think of the sand and surf of the coast, the vineyards of Napa Valley, the glitz and glamor of Hollywood, or the exhilaration of popular amusement parks. However, there are some nice ski resorts in California and plenty of places to practice your beloved winter sports and activities.


Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort in central California is considered by many avid skiers to be one of the best ski resorts in the state. Mammoth has an average snowfall of more than 150 inches and some years, up to 250 inches. It's enough snow to fulfill the dreams of the most enthusiastic snow lovers. This top ski resort is located on the eastern side of the Nevada mountain range.


One of the reasons Mammoth is among the best ski resorts is that it features Hangman's Hollow. This is identified as the siren of the slopes for expert skiers all over the world. Additionally, Mammoth also has a full terrain that offers cross-country skiing as well as an Olympic-sized half pipe.


The Mt. Shasta Resort is located in the heart of another California ski area that is very well known and very popular, which is why it is well known in the list of the best ski resorts in the west. The Mt. Shasta complex is located in the Siskiyou mountain range, which is close to the northern border of California. Within the Mt. Shasta National Recreation Area there are many activities available including hiking, snowmobiling, and a ski area that even includes a rabbit floor. After a long day on the slopes, the Black Bear restaurant is popular and highly recommended for a delicious meal and they also offer delicious home made cakes for a well deserved dessert.


A little further north of Mount Shasta is Oregon, which is also packed with numerous world-class slopes and ski resorts. Timberline Lodge is a historic chalet that sits right on the tree line of majestic Mt. Hood in the Cascade Range and has long been hailed as one of the best resorts. Because Timberline Lodge sits higher than many mountain ski resorts, you'll often find that you can ski year-round at nearby Palmer Snowfield, which is close to this great snow haven.


Continuing up the track north, British Columbia's mountain ski resorts are easy to add to the list of the best ski resorts in the west. Whistler is another famous ski area where you can also ski at any time of the year with a few exceptions. In addition to the Whistler-Blackcomb area, fabulous skiing, and other winter sports, there's also incredible scenery. After dark, there is a lively nightlife in the area that you can enjoy after a long day hitting the slopes.


This is just a short list of the best ski resorts found in the mountainous areas of the western US and western Canada. The various ski vacations you can take in the West are a great way to escape the stress and demands of work. For those who live in the west, many of the best ski resorts are close by and even a quick weekend ski package can be enough to provide the rejuvenation to get through another work week.
