With a unique blend of action, relaxation and the chance to reconnect with loved ones, skiing is an experience that appeals to thrill-seekers and comfort lovers alike. Whether you're a seasoned pro, a family with children or someone trying it for the very first time, skiing welcomes all ages and skill levels. 

Many resorts even cater to beginners with excellent ski schools and family-friendly amenities, making it easy to create lasting memories together.

Take the stress out of planning

If you’ve been dreaming of hitting the slopes but aren’t sure how or where to start, your AAA Membership can help you plan your winter adventure with ease and savings. From access to lift tickets to deals on gear and even hotel accommodations, AAA ensures you can focus on the fun while keeping your plans affordable.

The best time to go skiing

Timing your ski trip can make all the difference in ensuring the best possible experience. Typically, the ski season runs from late November to early April, with specific timing varying depending on the location and altitude of the resort. For those seeking the most reliable snow conditions and a true winter wonderland, mid-winter months like December through February are ideal, as this is when snowfall is usually at its peak. 

If you prefer quieter slopes and milder weather, consider booking a trip in the spring when the crowds have thinned and the days are longer. Spring skiing also often features discounts and special promotions, making it a budget-friendly option. Keep an eye on snow reports and weather forecasts, as these will help you pick the perfect time for your adventure.

Members-only ski tickets

AAA provides special member access to lift tickets and equipment rentals at more than two dozen ski resorts across 14 partners across the nation, from the East Coast to the West Coast. Top destinations like Big Bear, Park City, Stratton, Palisades and others make it easy to find a location that suits your family’s needs. 

Many resorts also offer snowboarding, tubing, snowshoeing, ice skating and more. There’s something for everyone, from adrenaline junkies to those who prefer hot cocoa over hitting the trails.
