Ski Vacations

                                                                  Aspen Ski Vacations

Aspen Mountain has long been known as the playpen 

of the rich and famous – and it is. But it is also a 

great place to take a family ski vacation. Christmas 

in Aspen is especially wonderful! Aspen Mountain 

rises above the town of Aspen, with a top elevation 

of 11215 feet and a vertical drop of 3269 feet. There 

are 76 trails suitable for beginners, intermediates, 

and experts, accessible by eight lifts, including 

seven chair lifts and one cable car line.

While Aspen has much to offer skiers, as well as 

those who enjoy the nightlife in a ski town, you 

should expect lots of crowds and lift lines on the 

slopes. Again, this is the playpen of the rich and 

famous, and many people choose this ski vacation 

spot simply for that reason – as well as for the great 

runs and nightlife.

There are numerous places to stay in and around 

Aspen, with more than 100 restaurants to choose 

from as well. Ski instructions and equipment rental 

are abundant in the area, and snowboarders are 

welcome.

 Holiday Mountain Ski Vacations

Holiday Mountain, located in New York, is a popular 

area for skiing. Even though the highest elevation is 

only 1300 feet, and the vertical drop is only 400 feet, 

this area is a popular place for the younger crowd, 

and it is definitely a great place to learn how to ski.

There are eight lifts, including three chair lifts and five 

surface lifts. There are 15 trails for beginners, 

intermediate skiers, and expert skiers. While skiing 

and snowboarding are the main attractions, there is 

much more here as well, including bumper cars, an 

arcade, and a mechanical bull. There is always 

something to do at Holiday Mountain Ski Resort.

The best place to stay when visiting Holiday Mountain 

Ski Resort is the Villa Roma Resort Hotel, which is 

located in the Sullivan County Catskills. Villa Roma 

was named as one of America’s 50 Best Family 

Resorts by Better Homes & Garden Magazine, and 

with the amazing amount of fun activities, it is easy 

to see why. The resort features a rail park for 

snowboarders, birthday packages, snow tubing, and 

of course skiing.
