Summer is almost gone, and for many die-hard ski aficionados this is the time to start planning group getaways to fully embrace this awesome winter sport. Vacation rentals and cabins may not be the best option for large groups. Groups wanting the opportunity to recreate together in tandem, with the privacy of having your own room, or those who want to manage split expenses with a little more control, may enjoy the features of top hotels in the best ski destinations in the nation. By booking your group travel in advance, your group will be able to get the best possible prices and book a section of the hotel where everyone is close by but can still enjoy the privacy of each room. We asked our group travel specialists for their top destinations for 2014-2015 winter sports season, and here is their list:
Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe, the jewel of Sierra Nevada, has some of the most desirable family- and group-oriented ski resorts. It is a fantastic place for beginners with challenges, and the instructors are approachable and affordable. The town is cozy and has many high-capacity dining options as well as a popular casino. The Resort at Squaw Creek is our favorite pick for groups of any age.
Vail, Colorado
Your group can drive or fly to Vail. For the best possible deals on air travel, consider flying your group into Denver. The drive from Denver to Vail is a little under two hours. Vail offers ski intensity for every skill level. As the second largest ski resort in the United States, it has something for everyone in your group. Vail offers awesome bowls, fantastic lifts, and memorable nightlife. We at Groople love the high level of hospitality offered by the Vail Marriott Mountain Resort.
Taos Ski Valley
For groups looking for a smaller, more quaint ski experience, head to Taos Ski Valley, New Mexico. It is absolutely beautiful, and it sets the stage for fantastic bonding with your group.
Don’t delay. Let us begin planning your group trip for this winter. We are always in the loop when it comes to the best hotel deals for groups.
