Towns and Resorts in USA
Mount Baker
Mount Baker is home to the Legendary Banked Slalom, one of the longest traditions in snowboarding, and the world record for the most snowfall in a season.
A trip to the mountains of North America is wholly different affair from one to Europe. The good ‘ol US of A offers a combination of epic terrain, great service and legendary light and fluffy snow. The chance to ride seemingly bottomless powder bowls, then cruise through uncrowded tree runs should be enjoyed by all. Plus, if you’ve always fancied a spot of heli-skiing, this is the place to come.
For European travellers it’s at the end of a long flight, and the transfer times to some of the more remote resorts will put many off from trying some awesome resorts but there’s plenty that’s easily accessible. A ski trip to the USA is doable in a week, but 10 days is the norm.
Resorts like Mount Baker hold near legendary status, and in Mount Baker’s case is due to the world record snowfall the area receives. The mega resort of Park City is just an hour from Salt Lake City and offers a huge area to be explored along with traditional Americana feel. Breckenridge offers some of the highest pistes in the country, while famous names such as Vail and Aspen continue to attract well-heeled visitors.
