Spring Break Hot Spots for Cool Skiing

PhotobucketLooking for some Spring Break Hot Spots for Cool Skiing? While many spring breakers head to the beaches, some of you are taking advantage of this last chance to hit the slopes. And it's a good bet that the 21st Winter Olympic Games have also put an itch in your ski boots.

Speaking of which, now is the time to rent a timeshare at Whistler, and explore first-hand this 2010 Winter Olympic venue. Ski the slopes where history was made in February. As you heard NBC's Bob Costas mention, the Whistler-Blackcomb ski area is the largest in North America. And also take the time as you pass through Vancouver to check out the Winter Olympic sites that you only got to see on television.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming, has some of the most stunning scenery any skier could ask for. Nestled beside the breathtaking Grand Tetons, skiing here is like being immersed in an unbelievable movie set. There are still some great Jackson timeshares for rent for your springboard to awesome skiing at the world-famous Snow King Resort, whose slopes rise almost right up from the town square, or popular Jackson Hole Ski Resort, just 12 miles out of town. And don't forget the incredible off -slope activity of visiting the largest Elk Reserve in the United States, where you can get up close and personal with hundreds of these magnificent animals. You can even take a sleigh ride there! See Jackson Hole timeshares.

For skiing that is on par with anything you'd find in the European Alps, head toward Ski Country, U.S.A. - Colorado, where the spectacular deep powder skiing is unrivaled. Rent a timeshare in historic Breckenridge for great skiing and snowboarding, among numerous other types of winter fun. For a unique Spring Break activity, try an exciting dogsled ride - sure to clear your head of any remnants of classroom cobwebs.

Skiing the Champagne Powder® of famous Steamboat Springs can be the highlight of your ski season. Rent a Steamboat Springs timeshare at this popular Colorado ski area and enjoy all that it has to offer the intrepid skier. For great après-ski fun there are two hot springs where you can have the exhilarating experience of soaking in steamy water while surrounded by snow.

Consider renting a timeshare at Lake Tahoe for skiing choices that are many, varied, and unbelievable. A hidden jewel in the Sierra Mountains, Lake Tahoe is the largest fresh-water alpine lake in North America. This remarkable ski area straddles the borders of California and Nevada, and offers more than 100 lifts and more than 500 runs over 17,000 acres of terrain. Due to an El Nino weather pattern the area has received record snowfall and expects its ski season to run into the first of May. See Lake Tahoe California timeshares.

Ski Jackson Hole for a Family Vacation

“Snow’s Up!” Every avid skier is well-aware that Ski Season is fast approaching, and guess what? It’s easy to turn a ski trip into a family vacation!

Jackson, Wyoming, the major gateway to the Grand Teton National Park, is the place to be for any serious skier, or serious skier wannabe, and is great for family travel. World famous ski conditions here are amidst some of the most stunning natural beauty your family will ever see. The kids are sure to remember their first site of the Grand Tetons. Seeing the Grand Teton mountain range, rising sharply and dramatically from the valley floor, nearly knocks the breath out of you.

The area is called Jackson Hole for the “hole” it sits in surrounded by breathtaking mountains. And those mountains are the source of the exhilarating skiing that has made the Jackson Hole area the ski destination of choice for skiers from around the world.

The Snow King Resort is so close that the slope swoops up almost from the middle of town. A challenging course, it’s also night-lit! Try night skiing if you never have – it offers an ethereal, almost mythical experience.

The famous Jackson Hole Ski Resort is out of town only 12 miles. Its spectacular deep powder skiing is unrivaled. Beginners and intermediate skiers are soon strutting their stuff on a variety of groomed runs. Advanced skiers have many different runs designed to challenge and exhilarate. Perfect for the family, this resort even has their Wrangler Day Care for children 6 months to 2 years, and the Kid’s Ranch that offers age-specific activities, including ski and snowboard lessons, for youngsters up to 17 years.

Take a break from the slopes and sample some of the other things to do that Jackson has to offer. Just a short drive out of town is the National Elk Refuge. Created as a winter home, you’ll see the largest concentration of these magnificent animals in the country. Many times these huge beasts (males average 500 pounds and can be 5 feet at the shoulder) are lounging along the fence line right beside the road. Talk about “up close and personal!” it’s an experience never to be forgotten. And you can even tour the Refuge in a sleigh ride!

To make your ski trip to Jackson Hole an easy one on the family budget, great places to stay are timeshares. There are several for rent in the Jackson Hole area. See Jackson Hole Timeshare Resorts for a listing. Once you’ve experienced staying in a timeshare with your family, you’ll be hooked. Offering bedrooms – pleural! – and a living room, there’s plenty of room for the family to sprawl out and the kids to run around. The full-sized, fully equipped kitchen allows for meals that are easy on the pocketbook. Of course, splurging at one of Jackson’s many trendy restaurants once in awhile is okay, too!
