There are obviously more ski resorts in the U.S. and Canada than those listed above, but we’ve identified the popular areas with timeshare resorts to give you a look at whether slopes are open yet or plan to open.

The die-hard skiers may already know this information, but if you are a novice and want to give it a try, hopefully this list will help start your journey. Timeshare points programs and exchange companies make resorts in these areas accessible to any timeshare owner, regardless of whether you own fixed or floating weeks or points at a specific timeshare resort.

Remember that there is more to these regions that just the ski slopes. Many of these towns such as Park City have internationally recognized events taking place like the Sundance Film Festival.

Taverns, restaurants, shopping and holiday-themed events and decorations are all a part of these terrific destinations.

For specific resorts, we compiled the list below based on the popularity of offers or inquiries placed by consumers on these resorts through our online platform. Check it out.
