We’ve rounded up four destinations that should satisfy anyone’s craving for fresh, powdery pistes, breathtaking views and luxe après-ski vibes. Read on for where to hit the slopes, and what to pack when you’re snowbound.
Amangani | Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Best Ski Resorts Amangani

Nestled next to the Grand Tetons in the Rockies, Amangani is a next-level luxury destination for winter adventurers. World-class alpine and cross-country ski terrain beckon at nearby Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, and you’ll avoid the crowds with a Ski Concierge service that brings top-quality equipment to you. If you tire of more traditional pistes, you can always opt for heli-skiing, dog sledding or scenic photo airplane tours over the Tetons offered through the resort.

Private wildlife tours are available as well as excursions into Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.

Hotel Mont Blanc | Chamonix, France

Best Ski Resorts Hotel Mont Blanc Chamonix

Chamonix has been a European destination for centuries and still merits its must-visit status for ski bucket-listers today. Boasting the highest peak in the Alps at 15,781 feet, it was host to the first Winter Olympics in 1924. It’s a natural draw for black diamond thrill-seekers, but has plenty of slopes for beginners as well as a city center with shops, cafés and galleries to explore.

The 100-year-old hotel combines the nostalgic charm of Chamonix-past with vibrant, elevated interiors by French designer Sybille de Margerie. Relax with a massage at the in-house spa, an après-ski drink at the log-lined bar or a dip in the outdoor pool, heated year-round and with stunning views of the mountains.
