CMH Heli-Skiing
Prepare yourself for an unforgettable adventure that starts in the British Columbia wilderness at CMH Bugaboos Lodge — a 32-room, fly-in-only getaway at the foot of the fabled Bugaboo Glacier. This little slice of heli-skiing history has housed hungry powder-seekers for more than 50 years and continues to serve as the most iconic heli lodge in the world. With its unmistakable architecture, sprawling bar, relaxing steam room, rooftop hot tub, and on-site chef, you’ll never want to leave the comfort of this renovated Canadian gem. Plus, as an Ikon Pass holder, you can unlock early booking privileges and $200 CAD/day credit on your next heli-skiing adventure.
RED Mountain Resort
Have yourself a bucket list–worthy experience at the new ski-in/ski-out Constella cabin collective, conveniently located on the backside of Canada’s RED Mountain Resort. These six quaint, eco-friendly cabins with shared central clubhouse give you unparalleled access to a peaceful on-mountain overnight — plus, first tracks on Paradise Basin’s famous glades. After popping off your skis for the day, wind down around the fire at Constella’s community clubhouse with some bevvies, games, and stargazing before settling into your cozy cabin for the night.
SkiBig3
Your fairytale trip to Alberta ski country begins with the magic that is SkiBig3 — three world-class resorts: Banff Sunshine, Lake Louise Resort, and Mt. Norquay — and ends with luxurious overnight accommodations that only the Fairmont can provide. Whether you opt for the gorgeous and historic Fairmont Banff Springs, Canada’s “Castle in the Rockies” since 1888, or the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, a AAA four-diamond lakeshore alpine resort that dreams are made of, you’ll be well within bounds of Banff National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Stratton
If you’re rolling through New England with a huge crew, look no further than the Long Trail House Penthouse in southern Vermont. This two-floor, 3,800-square-foot property with towering ceilings is Stratton’s one-and-only penthouse, boasting mountain views and five bedrooms — each with its own king bed and bathroom. Grab your snowboard or skis and walk to the slopes from your front door, or check out the year-round heated swimming pool, nearby restaurants, and ice skating rink.
Sun Valley
Come walk the same halls as the Hollywood elite at Sun Valley Lodge, the sprawling fortress-like resort in central Idaho. Built in 1936, the 108-room Lodge offers a sense of sophisticated nostalgia, an old-world charm, and an overall iconic Sun Valley experience. After a day on the slopes, you’ve got tons of on-property options — soak your woes away at the 20,000-square-foot spa, take a spin on the ice skating rink, or challenge your pals to a match in the ’50s-inspired Lodge Bowling Alley and Game Room.
