Skiing in the US?
Every march I go skiing to to the French Alps with a bunch of friends. We have been going to the same resort (Avoriaz) for the last 4 years and someone suggested this year we could explore other resorts, so we have been thinking about skiing in the US.
The pros of going back to Avoriaz are many: cheap flights ($120 to Geneva), cheap lodging, no queuing in the lifts, 400 miles of runs in 14 interconnected resorts, skiing from the appartment doorstep (the resort is located at 5000 ft), ...
However, I think we are due for a change of scenario and I wonder if there is a place in the US where it can be worth it the effort and extra expense to do a "once in a lifetime ski trip" while on a moderate budget. I have heard about Aspen, Vail and Tahoe but have also read about high prices and long queues
We are exploring other options in Europe but Switzerland is too expensive and Austrian resorts are smaller compared with the French ones.
What do you guys say?
