Ski trips with family or friends make excellent vacations, with everyone sharing space and stories from the slopes. But a solo ski vacation has many perks. For one, you can choose where to ski and hit the slopes on your own time.
You can focus on personal goals without worrying if you're holding anyone else up or waiting for them. And at the end of an active day, you can relax in a private room without distractions. It's bliss. As a middle-aged female skier, I take many solo trips. When skiing solo, you can book time with mountain hosts who can share the history of the mountain and trails.
Another consideration when taking a solo ski vacation is access to village restaurants, sports rentals, and shops. Having them close by can enhance ski vacations, especially when traveling alone. Here are my picks for 10 excellent ski resorts for singles and tips on making the most of your vacation. Advertisement Advertisement. Big Sky Resort is large, with four mountains connected by chair lifts, and attracts families and groups with different skiing abilities.
But it's equally enjoyable for solo skiers. Get the lay of the land on complimentary minute mountain host tours led by volunteer skiers and riders who share area information and maybe even their favorite spots to ski.
Then, explore the mountain alone or join a group lesson to meet other adult skiers. Snow tip: Make the most of your time with other activities, from laid-back snowshoe tours to thrilling guided headlamp night-skiing adventures.
