This Colorado resort is made up of five different peaks, ranging in difficulty from rolling hills to steep runs that aren't for the faint of heart. A good portion of its trails are even above the treeline. For an adventurous day out, go with a Breck Guide to explore a behind-the-scenes tour of the five mountains and learn basic backcountry skills. For a slightly tamer experience, you can go on a free naturalist tour on skis where a ranger will guide you through the forest.

Telluride Ski Resort is one of the best ski resorts in the U.S. for those learning to ski or snowboard — nearly 60 percent of its runs are dedicated to beginners and intermediates. And yet the mountain still offers extremely difficult terrain for the advanced among your group. Thrill seekers can try heli-skiing, where they'll be dropped from a helicopter to explore more than 200 square miles of high alpine basins, cirques, and summits. You don't need skis or a snowboard to continue to get your adrenaline fix: try out a guided ice climbing tour or a snowmobile tour for some extra thrills.

Later, take in Jackson Hole's wildlife with a horse-drawn sleigh ride to the National Elk Refuge, or explore the area with a winter fat bike tour.

This resort gets an average of 400 inches of snow each year, and it offers breathtaking views of three states and two national parks from the top of its Lone Peak Tram. When you're done traversing the more than 5,800 acres of skiable terrain — or as much of it as you can handle — take a ride on the 1,500-foot adventure zip line, sitting 150 feet above the forest. For a slightly calmer excursion, explore the mountain with a scenic snowshoe tour or see nearby Yellowstone National Park from the comfort of a snowcoach.

This Lake Placid resort may have a fraction of the acres of some of the bigger resorts on this list, but the diverse runs are perfect for all skill levels. Twenty percent of trails are suitable for beginners, 42 percent are for intermediate skiers, and 38 percent are for experts. The 1980 Winter Olympics were held here, too, so if you want to get into the Olympic spirit, you can always try your hand at riding in a real Olympic bobsled, hurtling down the winding track.

And after a long day on the slopes, head to nearby Burlington — about 40 minutes away — for the quirky restaurant scene and some of the best craft beer in the state.
