Bob, in Canada, Big White is truly ski in/out. If you look at the first webcam image on the webpage those are apartments and a hotel that you can see in the village centre. Sun Peaks too. What else are you looking for in a resort?
Don't know about the States I'm afraid

Kickin Horse near Golden, Alberta has slopeside accommodation now available and will be increased over the next few seasons. Get there quickly before it gets too popular. Awesome bowl and glade skiing

You'll get to see more forums and be part of the best ski club on the net.

Bob, I'll second Whistler and Silver Star. With Silver Star you can ski right off the slope onto the main street! Quite bizarre!! We stayed at the Silver Star Club Resort which was on the main street and we could pole right up to the door.

Panorama (Canada). Aspen has a little ski in ski out IIRC. There must be some in Vail, I'd have thought, from my recollection of the layout. sunshine (Banff, Canada) has one ski in ski out, but you might go a bit stir crazy.

A couple of corrections, Sun valley doesn't really have any ski in ski out and Golden is in BC not Alberta

We are off to Winter Park and Copper Mtn in 4 weeks (  ) and ,after experiencing the best ski in ski out we've come across at Big White/ Silver Star for the last 2 years, it will interesting to see how we get on. The Iron Horse at WP is supposedly ski-in ski-out, albeit away from the base area and the Gold Condo at CM is right by the lifts in the Village. Anyone got experience of either?
|

You know it makes sense.
|
the iron horse at WP is ski in from the mary jane side of the resort and ski out to the winter park side. basically it is between the two. it really is not inconvenient.
the base area at copper is fairly compact.
at both resorts there is more apres activity in nearby towns and the transportation systems are very good.
stop by the adult ski school meeting place at 9:30 and introduce yourself! if i can answer any other questions please pm me.

Spindrift, i will offer an apology in advance, however, how many folks fly halfway round the world on a ski trip and then bemoan the lack of a decent breakfast?
again.......so very sorry.
p.s. if you return come by the cabin. i make a wicked piece of toast.

Rusty Guy, Almost everyone who stayed there, to be honest it was probably down to bad advertising. I look forward to the toast

Yep, also agree Big White has great ski in/out. Virtually every hotel and apartment there has true ski in/out access. It's nice that you can ski straight into the village main street too.
Whistler also has excellent ski in/out too, but you have to be more careful choosing your accommodation to make sure you get it. Pan Pacific Mountainside is one of the best located hotels, right next to both main Whistler/Blackcomb base gondolas.
Just be careful though, the North American definition of ski in/out is something like 1/2 mile from the nearest lift!

Hi Guys, This is my first post, so bear with me!! I can also vouch for Big White and Silver Star as great Ski in/out resorts. I skied with Mr and Mrs "Excitableboy" (of W.Sussex fame) there in Jan 2005 and had a great time. Just under 4 weeks to go until hitting the slopes of Winter Park and Copper for a fortnight, to say that I'm "chomping at the bit" is a massive understatement!!!
