Staying at a hotel that sits on a natural hot spring allows you to feel connected to ancient geological processes, with mineral-rich waters bubbling beneath your feet.

"Tucked in south central Wisconsin, just 3.5 hours north of Chicago and 1.5 hours from Milwaukee, Green Lake has earned the nickname of the 'Hamptons of the Midwest.' Families have been summering there since the 1800s, when the shoreline was dotted with a handful of rustic resorts."

Utah's ski season, like much of the western United States, was a bit of a dud. Snowstorms were few and far between, weather was warm, and many trails were wet and slushy.

Enzo attempted a double front flip at Alaska's Hilltop Ski Area. He comes pretty close to landing it, nearly getting his skis all the way around, but he just didn't quite get it.

Ski Portillo is a timeless destination offering a ski vacation rich in culture, family-owned hospitality, and breathtaking natural beauty, making it the ultimate 'ski-in-summer' destination.

"Our ops teams have been working magic all winter long, but even that magic can't really fight back what Mother Nature has delivered at the tail end of this season for us."

The 2025-26 winter saw extreme weather, with the eastern half experiencing consistent cold and heavy snowfall, while the western half endured record warmth and a lack of snowfall.

After four stays-and countless drop-ins for an après moment-it's the hotel I trust most, delivering frictionless days on and off the slopes. Welcome to Rebooked, Condé Nast Traveler's new column where we share the properties our editors and contributors loved so much, they've booked them over and over (and over!) again. Travel journalists have their pick of the litter-so you know these are something special.

Thanks to the millions of baby boomers hitting retirement age, powder hounds in their 60s and 70s (and beyond) are an increasingly common sight on the slopes. In contrast to the popular stereotype of sun-seeking snowbirds, many older adults head straight to their favorite mountain each year when winter hits. But it turns out some ski resorts are better than others when it comes to catering to senior skiers' needs.

As The New York Times reported, the average cost of a single-day lift ticket in the U.S. hit an astonishing $250 in the 2024 season. And, again, that's the average. It's also only the cost of a ticket, so you'll still need to pay for food and drinks, lessons (if you need them), and a hotel if you plan to stay overnight.

Both avid and casual skiers know that winter requires preparation. If you want to ski as many days as possible, you must have a game plan. After all, skiing is an expensive sport, so budget is typically one of the top considerations. But before you book flights, hotels, and lift tickets, or decide if you want to invest in an Epic Pass or Ikon Pass, you'll need to identify which ski resorts you want to explore over the course of a few months.

"Our guests have an incredible connection with the mountains they ski, ride, and enjoy in any number of ways-and we want to make it easier for them to shop their favorite mountain merchandise from anywhere."

Fresh snow is what turns ordinary runs into powder days, and every skier knows the thrill of waking up to see a few extra inches (or feet) on the mountain report.

Henry Crown was born as Henry Krinsky in Chicago in 1896 to Lithuanian immigrant parents. With just an eighth‑grade education, he and his brothers founded the Material Service Corporation in 1919, selling gravel, sand and building materials to the booming Midwest construction industry. By the late 1950s, Crown had used that business as a springboard into defense contracting, gaining controlling interest in General Dynamics in 1959.
