As a very novice skier and looking for some get away ideas for this winter season I stumbled upon this guide. Although it lists ski resorts I may not go to anytime soon only because they are outside the U.S. and require a lot more planning and preparation then time allows right now (like Austria, France, Italy, Switzerland.. which all sound really fun!) my focus was on the U.S. destinations.Since I've only skied locally where I live, the places and descriptions where very helpful. Though the ones mentioned are not "local" they are still doable with planning (like Aspen or Jackson Hole which sounds really neat). I'm sure there must be many more and I kind of wish the author would come out with a U.S. (only) ski resort guide.I found the tips/reminders helpful too.. some of them are obvious (gloves, hat, etc) but others were not (like swimwear! might not have thought of that one), and of course sunblock. I've seen too many friends come back with "raccoon eyes" after a ski trip.Overall a very quick and short read, but something easy to refer back to when you're just starting your ski vacation and need some ideas on where to visit the best luxury ski resorts.
