USA Luxury Holidays

Relish the majestic pinnacles, wilderness vistas and sheer luxury of uncrowded slopes.

Knee deep in champagne powder you will relish the majestic pinnacles, wilderness vistas and sheer luxury of uncrowded slopes. These are the cornerstones of a winter vacation in the USA. Colorado welcomes every enthusiast with a haven of superior snow, charming frontier towns, pristine ski villages and sophisticated mountain hideaways. American glitterati's ski town of choice, Aspen is defined not only by elegance but also a piquant sense of laissez-faire. This glamorous hub is spruced to perfection, from the slopes to the Victorian architecture. Enjoy a clear morning run through the snow-dusted trees on Snowmass then loosen the skis and soak in the scene at an afternoon concert. This ex-silver mining town can rival America's best aprés-ski, brimming as it is with jazz clubs, hip bars and nightclubs. A counterpoint to Aspen's cosmopolitan vibe is the stylish village atmosphere of Vail where fresh tracks are easy to find. For added adventure, leave your skis behind and enjoy an exhilarating ride enveloped in furs on a dog-sled or snowmobile. Jackson Hole in neighbouring Wyoming can only be described as a ski mecca, offering some of the best extreme terrain in the US, though there is also plenty to entertain intermediates and boarders. Turning east, the clapboard houses, wooded landscapes and cosy warmth of New England traditions give way to the stylish, long cruisers and exhilarating double black diamond runs of Mount Mansfield, Vermont’s highest peak.
