Snow season is here, and while in Europe we have amazing resorts, many travelers choose to cross the pond to enjoy the grandeur of locations like Aspen, Montana, or Utah. Furthermore, thanks to Delta Air Lines and their multiple flight connections, the journey becomes much more comfortable and accessible, as they facilitate checking in your gear so you don't have to rent it at your destination.

Freeride, alpine skiing, heli skiing, snowboarding, cross country skiing... all these activities can be practiced at some of the ski resorts in the United States, but do you know which ones are the most impressive? Discover some of the most stunning ones, and note that you can easily reach them by flying with Delta Air Lines.

Montana

With nearly 2,500 skiable acres, Big Sky Resort is one of the largest ski resorts in the United States. Moreover, excellent skiing conditions are guaranteed thanks to snow levels exceeding 10. And now it's time to excite snow sports lovers, as it boasts over 300 trails for all levels, from the easiest ones for beginners to triple black diamond runs that are only suitable for the most experienced athletes.

Delta Air Lines offers flights to Bozeman in the state of Montana from Madrid and Barcelona via New York JFK and Salt Lake City.

Talking about snow sports in Colorado is talking about Aspen, a town that looks like it's straight out of a Christmas postcard, with its picturesque mountain chalets surrounded by the imposing Rocky Mountains. Nearby, there are four top-notch ski resorts for all levels, but there's also so much more: luxury shops, museums, galleries, and fun festivals that will delight all types of travelers.

Utah is home to two premier resorts, Deer Valley Resort and Park City Mountain Resort. The former only allows alpine skiing, while the latter is the second largest ski resort in North America and features areas for snowboard enthusiasts.

Delta Air Lines offers flights to Salt Lake City, in the state of Utah, from Madrid and Barcelona via New York JFK.

Idaho

In Idaho, we find Sun Valley, one of the oldest ski resorts in the United States and the one that operated the world's first ski lift. This resort attracts skiers looking for short lift lines, vast terrain, and 121 top-notch downhill trails. At Sun Valley, heli skiing can be practiced, a modality that picks up skiers at the base of the slopes and transports them by helicopter to secluded high-altitude slopes with fresh powder snow.

Among the popular ski areas on Mount Hood are Timberline Lodge (which boasts panoramic views of over a thousand vertical meters), Mt. Hood Meadows (known for its expansive terrain), and Mt. Hood Ski Bowl (the largest nighttime skiing area in the United States). Meanwhile, cross-country skiers can enjoy trails that wind through the northwest side of Mount Hood, featuring lakes, rivers, and stunning forests.

California offers excellent routes for freeride skiing enthusiasts, a variant for the bold, experienced, and skilled navigators, as it involves venturing into unmarked high mountain areas that are quite demanding for skiers. Olympic Valley, Alpine Meadows, and Wood Vista, near Lake Tahoe, are three of these regions where the right conditions for freeride skiing are present.

Delta Air Lines provides flights to Reno in the state of California from Spain via Atlanta and Salt Lake City. Another option is Delta flights from Madrid and Barcelona via Atlanta to Sacramento.

In short, if you are thinking about escaping to the United States to enjoy any snow sport, Delta Air Lines makes it easy for you. Now, the hard part is choosing the best destination.
