This winter and spring, hit the slopes with Get Away Today’s new ski packages! With our office located in Utah, home of “The Best Snow on Earth” we know a thing or two about the best places to ski and snowboard. With our ski packages you can choose from the top ski resorts in the world and customize your package with hotel, airfare, discount ground transportation, multi-day and multi-resort ski lift passes, and ski and snowboard rentals.

Here is an overview of our favorite destinations:

Park City, UT
Park City boasts three major ski resorts: Deer Valley Resort, The Canyons Resort, and Park City Mountain Resort. In addition to its famous slopes, its perfect blend of high-end lodging and budget friendly accommodations has made Park City a favorite for both families and champion skiers. Home to the Sundance Film Festival and having played a big part in the 2002 Winter Olympics, world class service is second nature at this Utah gem.

Salt Lake City, UT
Proud host of the 2002 Winter Olympics, Salt Lake City is minutes away from the Alta, Brighton, Solitude, and Snowbird Ski Resorts. Choose from a wide variety of accommodations, from cozy mountain lodges, to first class hotels in the heart of downtown. Complete your ski getaway with a spread of delectable restaurants, historical landmarks and museums, and an eclectic local shopping experience. Plus, with its ideal location just 45 minutes away from Park City, you can get even more skiing in during your vacation.

Lake Tahoe (Nevada)
Nestled on the California/Nevada border, a multitude of powder-laden resorts surround the pristine waters of Lake Tahoe and provide perfect downhill and back country skiing. A wide range of lift tickets are available for the Lake Tahoe ski resorts. Interchangeable tickets are available from 3-7 days for Squaw Valley USA, Alpine Meadows, Sugar Bowl, Northstar-at-Tahoe, Homewood Mountain Resort, Diamond Peak and Mount Rose. The North Shore offers peace and tranquility while an hour’s drive will take you to the South Shore’s bustling nightlife with casinos, shopping, and entertainment.

Vail, Colorado
Vail is consistently ranked as one of the most popular ski destinations in the U.S., with the Vail and Beaver Creek Ski Resorts offering perfectly groomed runs and a picturesque setting for ski enthusiasts. The Arrabelle at Vail Square, The Lodge at Vail, and Austria Haus Hotel are all popular selections for Vail ski vacations. Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort & Spa, The Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch, and The Pines Lodge are all popular choices for the Beaver Creek Ski Resort.

Aspen, Colorado
Four world class ski resorts within central downtown make it easy to see why Aspen is often known as the ski destination! Aspen draws everyone from extreme X-Gamers to bunny hill frequenting novices. The prominent peaks of Snowmass, Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, and Buttermilk provide hours of fun, and a vast selection of hotels, restaurants, and boutiques will fill your hours off the mountains with fun and relaxation.

Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia
Just north of Vancouver, Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia is the largest ski resort in North America, and quite possibly the most visited. Over 200 trails totaling more than 8,100 skiable acres draw millions of visitors to this breathtaking mountain resort each year. Lift tickets range from 3-of-4 day passes to 9-of-10 day passes. The Peak 2 Peak Gondola will conveniently transport you between the Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. Favorite accommodations include Delta Whistler Village Suites, the Pinnacle International Hotel Whistler, and Fairmont Chateau Whistler, a breathtaking hotel castle at the base of Blackcomb Mountain.
