特點：新手到老手都適合位在美國懷俄明州的傑克森霍爾是那種所有人事物都有暱稱的地方，當地人會搭乘俗稱「Red Heli」的纜車，去追美國最品質好的粉雪。許多滑雪客也將這座位於黃石國家公園和大提頓國家公園邊緣的野生麋鹿天堂稱為「the Big One」，象徵無邊無際的美麗景緻。以深遠陡峭的地形聞名，傑克遜霍爾擁有許多傳奇性與高難度的滑雪道，例如「Corbet’s Couloir」，它的難度之高，以致於人們談論它的次數甚至多過於挑戰它的次數。許多自由滑雪者都是因為雪車或直升機滑雪慕名而來，因為這裡地形的垂直落差比美國其他滑雪場都還要大，也有足夠的空間讓中級滑雪者輕鬆體驗滑雪。即使是在嚴冬逐漸消散的懷俄明州，三月天的粉雪仍然是隨處可見，可以享受入夏前最後一波的滑雪趣。位於纜車站底部的滑雪小鎮提頓村（Teton Village）和距離公路約 30 分鐘路傑克遜鎮（Jackson）在過去的幾十年裡都因滑雪盛行發生了巨大的變化。馬蹄形的提頓村裡有五花八門的住宿選擇，幾乎和滑雪場一樣多。除了有頂級的「 Four Seasons」，還有以高級木屋和會員俱樂部著稱的「Caldera...

It’s not often that marika favé falls silent. It’s a spring morning on the packed, sun-streaked gondola to the peak of the Marmolada glacier, the highest point in the Dolomites. Our impish mountain guide – a fast-talking former Italian national skier whose family have lived in the Fassa Valley for generations – has been telling us about the grimly determined Austro-Hungarian soldiers who dug a small city into the ice up here during the Great War.

Yes, there are serious meccas like Trysil, Hemsedal, Voss and Geilo, many of them in central southern Norway between Oslo and Bergen.
