As a skier or snowboarder, you want to visit big mountains with abundant snow and challenging terrain. Alaska’s Chugach Mountains or Lake Tahoe’s Sierra Nevada offer both, but first, you’ll have to get there. 

American Airlines offers a comprehensive flight schedule, visiting destinations like Colorado, Utah, Alaska, Vermont, and Wyoming. Not only that, but the carrier has some solid deals on its website right now, putting that bucket list trip within reach.

Wherever you want to ski or snowboard, American Airlines’ schedule has a good deal to get you there. As its website says, “We’ve got the network to get you to the best winter destinations this season. Take your winter adventures to new heights with flights to Alaska and some of the most popular ski resorts across the U.S.” Perusing the flights reveals pricing that lets you save money for lodging, meals, and passes.

We went through the schedule and discovered these appealing flights (round trip, economy):

  • Miami (MIA) to Vail (EGE): $339 from 1/1/25 to 1/8/25
  • Chicago (ORD) to Jackson Hole (JAC): $328 from 1/2/25 to 1/9/25
  • Seattle (SEA) to Juneau (JNU): $357 from 12/12/24 to 12/19/24
  • Dallas (DFW) to Reno (RNO): $357 from 12/3/24 to 12/10/24
  • Dallas (DFW) to Salt Lake City (SLC): $159 from 12/10/24 to 12/17/24
  • Los Angeles (LAX) to Denver (DEN): $137 from 12/10/24 to 12/17/24
  • Philadelphia (PHL) to Montrose (MTJ): $388 from 12/17/24 to 12/24/24

There’s plenty more to sift through, though fares are collected over the past 24 hours and may be unavailable to book. Also, many deals are for early-season trips, providing a steep discount before winter.

To address the issue, commercial airlines landing in Türkiye must document and report rule breakers to the Turkish Directorate of Civil Aviation, which may issue a fine up to $70.
