20Bend, Oregon
Bend scores for providing skiers with the best “surprising” ski holiday. Indeed, you might even be surprised that the state itself is mentioned here, yet Bend is often praised by travel writers as one of the best places for ski resorts. To be exact, Mount Bachelor, located on the Bend Ale Trail, is yet another hidden gem for winter sports.
Here, on a property that spans more than 4,300 acres, you will be able to choose from 101 different ski runs. Indeed, a number of different slopes include perfect ski trails through the snow-covered forests. After you’ve had enough of the powder, don’t forget downtown Bend. You will find two dozen different breweries on the popular Bend Ale Trail alone. Skiing and drinking beer are a great match provided you do them in the right order, of course.
