Here are a few other tips to keep in mind when planning your ski trip:
- The Colorado ski destinations, served by Denver, are your best bet to save money on airfare for your ski trip, with good prices from a typical US destination around $300 round trip.
- If you're planning to fly to Utah (SLC), Stowe, VT (BTV), Taos (ABQ) or Squaw (RNO, SMF), average flight prices are around $400 round trip.
- In general, the best prices are found in late January to early February. Prices (and demand) spike in the mid-February for school vacation week, and peak in mid-March before falling gradually at the tail end of the season.
- For best prices, book your ticket between one to two months ahead; prices typically begin to rise sharply from two to four weeks prior to departure.
- Skiers in major metros have some great cheap options such as Dallas to Denver for under $120, Chicago to Denver or New York to Vermont for about $150, and San Francisco to Salt Lake under $170.
