<p>If you&#8217;re planning a ski vacation, there are a few things to keep in mind. One important decision is whether to bring your own skis or rent them at the resort. If you plan on skiing often throughout the season, it might be worth investing in your own equipment and bringing them along on the trip. Be sure to check with your airline beforehand &#8211; some have size and weight restrictions for checked bags. Don&#8217;t forget a <a href="https://amzn.to/3CPJBXt" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">ski travel bag</a>.</p>



<p>Purchasing lift tickets in advance is a great way to save money. <a href="https://www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=ml&amp;ti=266117&amp;pw=272881" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Check out this link for discounted lift tickets</a>.&nbsp;Another option is purchasing a season pass for the resort or group of resorts that you plan on visiting. Not only does this save money in the long run, but it usually includes discounts on rentals and other amenities as well. No matter what route you take, properly researching and planning can go a long way towards making your ski vacation enjoyable and stress-free.</p>

<p>On the east coast, one of the best ski destinations in the US is Vermont. There must be a reason why the state has sent more athletes to the Winter Olympics than any other, per capita, in the last decade, right? Use Burlington, VT as your home base for your ski vacation. The airport (BVT) is serviced by major airlines, making it accessible from anywhere in the country. Once you arrive, you may want to rent a car. </p>



<p>While Burlington is the capital, award-winning ski resorts are within a one-hour drive. Stowe Mountain Resort, on the Epic Pass, is home to Vermont’s tallest peak. <a href="https://paonpause.com/ski-the-east-long-weekend-sugarbush-vermont/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Sugarbush Resort</strong></a>, on the IKON pass, has the highest chairlift in the state and two peaks to explore. The nearby Mad River Glen is great for those who want a natural ski experience. Only skiing is permitted here, and the terrain follows the natural contour of the mountain on natural snow. This is one of only 3 areas in the United States that still only permits skiing. They also still operate one single chair lift. Don’t worry about riding the lift with a stranger here! </p>



<p>Prohibition Pig Restaurant &amp; Brewery is a great spot to stop and refuel with great barbecue on the way back to Burlington after a day of skiing in the Mad River Valley. Don&#8217;t forget to visit Ben &amp; Jerry’s while in Burlington and see where their delicious ice cream is made. You can get a scoop of one of many flavors at their on-site scoop shop.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-sun-valley-idaho">Sun Valley, Idaho</h3>



<p>Sun Valley is a true American gem and is a winter paradise nestled in Idaho&#8217;s Rocky Mountains. </p>



<p>Now, getting to this amazing destination is easy since direct flights are available to nearby Friedman Memorial Airport.</p>



<p>Alternatively, you could take a scenic drive through Idaho&#8217;s countryside since the charming town of Ketchum is the gateway to Sun Valley.</p>



<p> Now, the best way to get around Ketchum is on foot or by bus. But, if you bring your own car then you can use it to visit other trails or attractions outside town.</p>



<p>Then, upon arrival, you&#8217;ll be welcomed to a winter wonderland filled with perfectly groomed trails for skiers of all skill levels. </p>



<p>However, beginners can find their footing on gentle slopes, while experts can challenge themselves on thrilling runs. </p>



<p>Modern ski lifts also guarantee quick and easy access to the slopes, maximizing your time on the snow.</p>



<p>However, Sun Valley offers more than just skiing. So, you can indulge in a range of activities that include snowshoeing, tubing, ice skating, and hiking through the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. </p>



<p>And when you want to warm up indoors, learn about the area&#8217;s charming past at the Sun Valley Museum of History.</p>



<p>Then, as the day winds down, the Apres ski scene comes alive with cozy lodges, inviting restaurants, and vibrant nightlife. </p>



<p>So, unwind next to the fireplace with hot cocoa or gather with your buddies to share stories about the day&#8217;s adventures.</p>

<p>If you’re looking for one of the best places to go skiing in the US, look no further than Jackson Hole, Wyoming. This town turns into a magical wonderland in the winter and it is the perfect place for your next ski vacation.</p>



<p>You can reach Jackson Hole by flying in directly (airport code: JAC). This airport is unique as it is the only airport in the United States that is located within a national park (Grand Teton National Park). If flying into Jackson Hole is too complicated or expensive, you can also fly into Salt Lake City and make the 4.5 hour drive.</p>



<p>Most people associate skiing at Jackson Hole with Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) – as this is the most popular option. JHMR is on both the Mountain Collective Pass as well as the IKON pass &#8211; reservations required. In addition to JHMR, there are two other smaller ski areas as well.</p>



<p>If you aren’t into downhill skiing, there are still plenty of other things to do in <a href="https://beautahfulworld.com/tag/jackson-hole-wyoming-in-the-winter/">Jackson Hole, Wyoming in the winter</a>. Jackson Hole’s close proximity to Grand Teton National Park allows for tons of exploration. If you enjoy the outdoors, you can hike, snowshoe, or cross-country ski in the national park or surrounding area.</p>



<p>If you are looking for something a little more adventurous, consider booking a snowmobiling trip. There are many places you can snowmobile to including deeper into the national park on the unplowed roads as well as to local hot springs. </p>



<p>If you’re planning to ski at JHMR, you should certainly stay at Continuum which is at the base of the slopes in Teton Village. This hotel has an outdoor heated pool and jacuzzi which will certainly be a highlight of your stay.</p>

<p>On the shores of Lake Superior in Minnesota, you’ll find a few of the midwest’s best ski resorts, with some of the most beautiful views. Right in Duluth, Spirit Mountain is a year-round place for adventure in northern Minnesota and is especially great in the winter months.</p>



<p>There are 22 runs that vary in difficulty from easy to advanced, so skiers of all levels can enjoy this epic <a href="https://kassidysjourney.com/best-ski-resorts-minnesota/">Minnesota ski resort</a>. Snow tubing is also offered at Spirit Mountain for those visiting who aren’t big skiers, or for some extra fun after the runs close for the night.</p>



<p>Just about 2 hours further north, you’ll find Lutsen Mountains, which is nestled in the Sawtooth Mountains of the North Shore, overlooking Lake Superior. With over 120 inches of snow each year, skiers and snowboarders will have a blast flying down almost 100 runs and through the terrain parks. For those who don’t love downhill skiing, check out the cross-country ski trails or go for a hike along Lake Superior.</p>



<p>Both ski resorts are included in the Indy Pass and are best reached by a flight to either Duluth International Airport or Minneapolis International Airport. On the way back down the North Shore, make a stop for dinner at Betty’s Pies in Two Harbors for dinner and some of Minnesota’s best desserts. And when it’s time to call it a night, book a stay at Lutsen Resort, just minutes from Lutsen Mountains, or Pier B Resort in Duluth.</p>

</figure>



<p>Big Bear Lake is a small unincorporated&nbsp;town in California that draws at least 6 million visitors annually and a good majority&nbsp;of them <strong><a href="https://www.chelseyexplores.com/the-ultimate-weekend-in-big-bear-california/">visit Big Bear over the weekend</a></strong> during the ski season!&nbsp;</p>



<p>Bear Mountain Ski Resort is a great ski resort that has all kinds of things to do in and around the village besides just skiing and snowboarding making it a great destination for the whole family.</p>



<p>You can dine or drink at one of the several restaurants, go snow tubing, check out the shops, ride the alpine slide, visit&nbsp;the alpine zoo, go bowling, take a helicopter tour, go hiking, or book a luxury stay and enjoy the amenities!&nbsp;</p>



<p>Getting to Big Bear can be done in several different ways depending on your budget, where you are coming from, and whether&nbsp;you plan to drive or fly.&nbsp;The nearest major cities driving are Los Angeles at 2.5 hours, San Diego at 3 hours, and Las Vegas at 3.5 hours. Keep in mind if you drive in the winter snow chains on your tires may be needed.</p>



<p>If you want to get as close as you can by flying the closest international&nbsp;airports are San Bernardino International Airport (SBD) and Palms Springs International Airport. Otherwise, you&#8217;ll need to fly into one of the other major cities I mentioned&nbsp;above and rent a car to drive the rest of the way to Big Bear.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Pro Tip: If you are looking for a good deal then stay at Lenny&#8217;s Lodge. This Airbnb is located right above a highly rated breakfast spot which is very convenient. It&#8217;s simple but it has everything you will need and is super close to the hiking trails.</p>

<p>Winter in Colorado is the best time to get outside. The state boasts over 300 days of sunshine and remarkable scenery that provides countless opportunities for outdoors like skiing, snowboarding and snow tubing during winter months.</p>



<p>While ski slopes in places like Breckenridge and Aspen get busy, you can escape the crowds in other destinations. Arapahoe Basin (A-Basin) located near Keystone is one of those places.</p>



<p><a href="https://thediscoverynut.com/when-does-it-snow-in-colorado/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">What makes A-Basin exceptional is that it boasts an unusually long season: the slopes here close in May and sometimes even June</a>. And with nine lifts and over 1,400 acres of spectacular alpine terrain, this place never feels crowded. You also don’t have to wait for hours to get on a ski lift.&nbsp;</p>



<p>With its relaxed, hippie vibe, A-Basin stands out among other popular skiing areas in Colorado and many visitors have come to love it just for that.&nbsp;If you are a newbie skier or snowboarder, you might want to know that A-Basin has a good variety of trails suitable for all levels.&nbsp;</p>



<p>When visiting A-Basin, be aware that traffic can be bad on I-70, especially if you are traveling on weekends. Try to visit on weekday, when it’s less hectic, however, if you are traveling on a weekend, make sure to leave early or late to avoid the afternoon rush hour.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-why-proper-winter-apparel-care-is-important">Why Proper Winter Apparel Care is Important</h2>



<p>Chances are you spent a lot of time researching the best ski jacket or shell combination to keep you warm and dry on the mountain. So now that you have the right jacket for you, you want to make sure it stays that way. That&#8217;s why it is important to properly care for your winter apparel to keep it functioning at its peak.</p>



<p>Did you know that when your ski jacket has dirt, grime, and oil on it, the jacket can actually absorb water? This is definitely not ideal for a ski jacket and can leave you cold and clammy. Your regular household detergents won&#8217;t do the trick here either. These can leave behind residue that get in the way of water repellency.</p>



<p>Additionally, prolonging the life of your gear is a sustainable practice. If your gear is functioning well, it&#8217;s less likely to need to be replaced. The greenest outdoor gear is the gear you already have.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-to-wash-a-ski-jacket">How to Wash a Ski Jacket</h2>



<p>Just the thought of figuring out how to care for expensive gear can be intimidating. Fortunately Nikwax has made the process easy to understand so you make sure to protect your gear.</p>



<ol>
<li><strong>Check the care label. </strong>The first and probably most crucial step to figure out how to wash a ski jacket is to check the tag. Every jacket will be slightly different depending on the fabric. Understanding this label is key to proper care of your jacket. This label will clarify if you should hand wash or use the washing machine, the temperature of the water, and if your jacket can be tumble dried. (Not sure what the laundry symbols mean on the label? <a href="https://www.whirlpool.com/blog/washers-and-dryers/washer-care-symbol-guide.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Check out this post for more information</a>.)<br><br></li>



<li><strong>Remove laundry detergent residue from your washing machine.</strong> Regular household detergent can interfere with water repellency.<br><br></li>



<li><strong>Clean your jacket. </strong>As we discussed earlier, dirty jackets can actually attract water, rather than repel it. In the case of most ski jackets, whether you are using a shell or synthetic filled jacket, you will reach for <a href="https://www.nikwax.com/en-us/products/tech-wash/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Nikwax Tech Wash</a>. However if your jacket has down, you would choose <a href="https://www.nikwax.com/en-us/products/down-wash-direct/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Nikwax Down Wash Direct</a>. If it is synthetic and down mix, still opt for Nikwax Down Wash Direct. Regardless of the Nikwax cleaning product used, you will notice that has a green top. Think green for clean.<br><br></li>



<li><strong>Waterproof your jacket. </strong>One of the important perks of your ski jacket is that it keeps you dry. If you have noticed some water is getting through your jacket, it may be tempting to skip straight to this step without cleaning your jacket first. But it&#8217;s important to always clean before you waterproof. Think of it this way, you would never wax a dirty car. <br><br>You want to waterproof while your ski jacket is still wet from cleaning it with either Nikwax Tech Wash or Nikwax Down Direct. If you have a shell or a synthetic filled jacket, you will reach for <a href="https://www.nikwax.com/en-us/products/tx-direct-wash-in/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Nikwax TX.Direct Wash-In</a>. In the case of a down filled jacket (or a synthetic/down mix), choose <a href="https://www.nikwax.com/en-us/products/down-proof/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Nikwax Down Proof</a>. Regardless of the Nikwax waterproofing product used, you will notice that has a purple top. Think purple for proof.<br><br></li>



<li><strong>Dry your jacket.</strong> Either hang dry or tumble dry according to your care label.<br><br></li>



<li><strong>Hit the slopes!</strong><br><br></li>



<li><strong>Repeat as needed</strong>, waterproofing about every 4-5 times you wash your ski jacket.<br></li>
</ol>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-drying-guidelines-according-to-the-fabric-of-your-ski-jacket">Drying Guidelines According to the Fabric of Your Ski Jacket</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-down-jackets">Down Jackets </h3>



<p>If you don&#8217;t have a dryer, consider using a laundromat or a professional dry cleaner for your down jackets and other down clothing.</p>



<p>After all, a dryer is essential if you want to re-fluff the feathers. So, be sure to quickly transfer your jacket from the washing machine to the dryer without delay.</p>



<p>Moreover, try to load your down jacket into the dryer with four tennis balls to fluff up the feathers.</p>



<p>Lastly, choose a gentle (synthetic) cycle that reaches a maximum temperature of 140°F (60°C). This will be more than enough heat to completely dry and puff up your ski jacket. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-synthetic-clothing">Synthetic Clothing</h3>



<p>If you don&#8217;t have a dryer, you will have to dry your synthetic clothing inside out on a hanger and reactivate waterproof treatment with a warm iron that is set to 230°F (or 110°C) max. </p>



<p>You can then use a towel over the outer fabric and do a quick pass with the iron for smooth drying.</p>



<p>Now, if you have a dryer then you will need to leave your clothing inside out, select a gentle &#8216;synthetic&#8217; program that reaches a temperature of 140°F (60°C), and run one 45-minute cycle. </p>



<p>If needed, use hangers to finish drying your clothes or a synthetic ski jacket. No ironing is required since the heat of the dryer should maintain and reactivate the water-repellent treatment.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-to-wash-a-ski-jacket-faqs">How to Wash a Ski Jacket FAQs</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-1-can-i-wash-my-ski-jacket-in-a-washing-machine">1. Can I Wash my Ski Jacket in a Washing Machine?</h3>



<p>If you want to wash your ski jacket in the washing machine, check the care instructions on the tag inside your jacket. </p>



<p>If you can machine wash the garment then insert your ski jacket into the washing machine drum,</p>



<p>Start a complete wash and rinse cycle, with the temperature set at approximately 86°F (30°C). </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-2-how-do-you-dry-a-wet-ski-jacket">2. How Do You Dry a Wet Ski Jacket?</h3>



<p>To dry a wet ski jacket, hang it on a clothesline or a hanger, avoiding direct sunlight. </p>



<p>Also, maintain proper ventilation, ensure the jacket sits at room temperature, and periodically fluff the jacket to speed up the drying process.</p>



<p>Avoid using high heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as they can damage the jacket.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-3-do-you-wash-ski-gear-inside-out">3. Do You Wash Ski Gear Inside Out?</h3>



<p>It&#8217;s always a good idea to wash your ski gear inside out. This helps the outer layer stay in great shape so that it can last longer, maintaining the jacket&#8217;s performance and appearance.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-4-how-do-you-wash-a-peak-performance-ski-jacket">4. How Do You Wash a Peak Performance Ski Jacket?</h3>



<p>To wash a Peak Performance ski jacket use a mild detergent and cold water. Try to zip up all the zippers, turn it inside out, and run it on a gentle cycle.</p>



<p>Moreover, skip fabric softeners and dry it on low and slow settings to keep it looking great. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-5-how-do-you-clean-a-ski-jacket-at-home">5. How Do You Clean a Ski Jacket at Home?</h3>



<p>Skip your standard laundry detergent and consider using Grangers Performance Wash or a similar technical cleaner. </p>



<p>It&#8217;s good for your ski jacket because it is specially designed for synthetic shells and insulated ski gear. In fact, it is a specialized cleaner that is designed to maintain the gear&#8217;s performance and longevity.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-6-should-i-air-dry-my-ski-jacket">6. Should I Air-Dry My Ski Jacket?</h3>



<p>If the care label of your jacket allows for that then do it. Otherwise, try to use a low-heat tumble dryer. </p>



<p>If you don&#8217;t have one, air dry your clothes, then gently iron them at a delicate fabric setting, using a towel as a buffer between the garment and the iron.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-winter-gear-care-q-amp-a">Winter Gear Care Q&amp;A</h2>



<p>Now that we have discussed how to wash a ski jacket, let&#8217;s clear up some additional important questions that you might have regarding winter gear care&#8230;</p>



<p><strong>Question: </strong>My ski jacket says &#8220;hand wash&#8221;, can I still clean and waterproof it with Nikwax products? <br><strong>Answer: </strong>Yes. Nikwax works with all types of washing, including hand washing.</p>



<p><strong>Question: </strong>Do I need to dry my ski jacket in order to activate the water repellent properties?<br><strong>Answer: </strong>No. You can tumble dry your jacket if allowed in the care label, but this is not required in order to ensure water repellency.</p>



<p><strong>Question: </strong>I noticed my ski jacket does not seem to be repelling water like it used to, can I re-waterpoof it?<br><strong>Answer:</strong> Yes, but you should clean it first. Think of it this way, you would never wax a dirty car. After cleaning your jacket, waterproof your ski jacket while it is still wet.</p>



<p><strong>Question:</strong> My ski jacket has a down and synthetic blend filling. What products should I use?<br><strong>Answer: </strong>We always clean and waterproof to the level of the most delicate component. In this case it is the down portion of your jacket. Therefore we will use <a href="https://www.nikwax.com/en-us/products/down-wash-direct/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Nikwax Down Wash Direct</a> to clean and <a href="https://www.nikwax.com/en-us/products/down-proof/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Nikwax Down Proof</a> to waterproof.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-happy-skiing">Happy Skiing</h2>



<p>Now that you have a fresh, warm and dry ski jacket, it&#8217;s time to hit the slopes for a great ski season. Have any additional questions regarding winter apparel care? Drop them in the comments.</p>
