Welcome A ski holiday like no other.

The USA and Canada are renowned for having some of the best snow on the planet. Compared to Europe, the pistes are practically empty and always perfectly groomed. And with snowfall in some resorts averaging between 300 and 500 inches, there’s no shortage of snow!

The US resorts we have chosen for this brochure – found in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming – are available in many guises, whether you want to chill out and escape from it all, party with your mates, or enjoy time with the family.

Meanwhile, in Canada our range of hotels and lodges in British Columbia, Alberta & Quebec are surrounded by breathtaking mountains and lush natural forests. So there is always plenty to explore on foot as well as on skis.

All of the resorts we have chosen for you feature challenging runs for the more experienced skier, as well as catering for beginners too. Tuition is readily available and you can hire ski equipment in resort, if you prefer to travel light.

Off the mountain, there are plenty of well-priced, varied restaurants to try and numerous après-ski activities to enjoy. All wrapped up with a genuine North American welcome.

It may be a longer way to go for your snow, but it’s worth it!

Happy Skiing!

Sean Semple Sales Manager PS: SkiKings organise fantastic ski & snowboarding holidays all over Europe as well as further afield. Our team are all keen skiers themselves and have been to check out all of our resorts themselves. So they will be able to answer your questions with facts, not guesses.

PARK CITY Park City is one of the best resorts in the USA for intermediates.

F PR LA O GS PE H R IP TY

Its ski area – located directly above the town – is laced with cruisy blue runs, and there are also plenty of easy blacks, plus tempting, ungroomed gladed tree runs. Intermediates will love the fact that they can travel to neighbouring resorts once they have covered Park City.

There are a few long cruising runs in Park City and some lovely blue runs that curve off the ridges. Head over to Deer Valley for a taste of luxury and perfectly groomed corduroy pistes. More advanced skiers and boarders will find the scary chutes and bowls will get your hearts racing and the powder in The Canyons will never disappoint!

The Grand Summit Hotel At the centre of Canyons Village stands the Grand Summit - and it certainly is grand.

JACKSON HOLE Jackson Hole is probably one of our favourite ski resorts in the world as it is still a ‘proper’ cowboy town where you really feel as if you are in the Wild West. Jackson Hole is on the list of places to ski and board of many experts and good intermediates because of its reputation for fantastic big mountain skiing.

The resort receives a massive amount of powder snow throughout the season which draws people in from far and wide. Jackson Hole celebrated the arrival of ‘Big Red’ in 2008. This is the tram that whisks skiers and boarders up 4000 feet from the base station to the top of Rendezvous Mountain.

The Parkway Inn The Parkway Inn is one of the most popular properties in Jackson and offers truly outstanding value for money, great facilities and super service. It is ideally placed for the shopping and the nightlife of the town. Complimentary email and internet terminals are available in the lobby.

WHISTLER Together Whistler and Blackcomb mountains form the largest area of slopes with the longest runs in North America! This is brilliant as you don’t even have to get a resort bus to the ski area from your accommodation. Both mountains have a huge range of beginner, intermediate and advanced skiing and boarding.

Beginners will enjoy the excellent nursery slopes at the mid-station gondola of Whistler and at the base of Blackcomb. Powder hounds should head to the ‘inbounds backcountry experience’ at Whistler’s flute bowl or try the Olympic downhill course that drops right down into Creekside. Advanced skiers and boarders will find enough terrain to entertain them for weeks.
