Temperatures here in Portland are in the triple digits this week and while soaring temperatures may not make you think about snow and ski vacations, now is actually a great time to score a great deal on that annual ski trip. With airfares still low now (though they are starting to creep back up again), booking your winter travel now could potentially save you a whole lot of money on hotel and airfare than if you wait until later in the year. Sure, we’re still in the middle of the summer, but maybe scorching temperatures actually have you missing the snow. Or, if you are like my little brother currently skiing in New Zealand, you may be one of those that would just assume skip summer altogether for a year-long ski season. Think Snow! Great Ski Deals. Book now on Expedia!
For those who aren’t quite ready to make their winter travel plans or book their ski vacation, there is also still time to get a last-minute summer deal at many Colorado ski resorts. Ski resorts in the summer? Sure. With mountains, beautiful weather, great scenery and plenty to do from hiking and mountain biking to taking in the sights and sounds, there is certainly plenty to do in the mountains before the snow covers the slopes.
Plus, because Denver serves as a major hub for United and Frontier Airlines, you should have no problem scoring a deal on a cheap flight to Denver from just about anywhere around the country. Booking your ski holiday in the summer is also a terrific way to save loads of money. In fact, Vail Valley lodges are unveiling plenty of ski season specials right now in an effort to change the “last minute” model for scoring a great deal. In fact, the Westin Riverwalk Resort near Vail is offering a “Christmas in July” special which knocks half standard room rates from November 20-December 25.
