White-hot vacations
Colorado (stltoday.com)
Every ski resort offers the same basics: snow and mountains.
After that, though, individual tastes need to be considered. If your group's headed out West and wants upscale shopping, consider Colorado's Vail or Aspen. If a picturesque mountain village sounds good, Breckenridge or Park City, Utah, will fit the bill. If short lift lines and plenty of terrain are in demand, Big Sky in Montana or Steamboat Springs in Coloroado should be considered. If spotting a celebrity sounds like fun, try Jackson Hole, Wyo.; Sun Valley, Idaho; Aspen; or Park City during the Sundance Film Festival in January.

Winter Park in GQ
Winter park, CO (gq-magazine.co.uk)
Until as recently as a decade ago, skiing Colorado was a Yank thing. Hardly any skiers flew to Denver from outside America or Canada , not least because direct intercontinental flights to the city didn' t exist. The choice for most Brits between a short hop to the Alps and a marathon to the Colorado Rockies that lasted at least a day and could involve as many as four airports, was an easy one. We skied Europe.
