There’s no shortage of fantastic skiing destinations from Alaska to New Hampshire—there are so many, in fact, that Powder Magazine holds an annual Ski Town Throwdown competition during which snow-sports enthusiasts vote for their favorite ski towns. Some of the contenders offer amazing and affordable B&Bs in addition to plenty of powder and perfectly groomed trails. Here are six ski destinations across the United States that you won’t want to miss, with accompanying inn ideas.

Stowe, Vermont

Ski Magazine and Freeskier Magazine ranked Stowe Mountain Resort as the best ski resort in the Eastern region of the United States. Stowe Mountain Resort comprises two separate mountains: Mount Mansfield and Spruce Peak. (Though the first chairlift opened at Sun Valley Resort in 1936, Mount Mansfield has the distinction of being the first ski area in the United States.) Stowe features 116 ski trails, 13 lifts and an average snowfall of 300+ inches, and is known as a legendary ski destination.

Where to stay: Inns in Stowe offer accommodations to suit every traveler’s tastes—from vintage Victorian at Village Victorian to modern luxury atField Guide. At Garden Tower B&B in nearby Waterbury, warm up after a day on the slopes in a spacious suite with a steam bath, a sauna, a fireplace and heated floors.

Bozeman, Montana

Skiers and snowboarders love Bozeman, Montana, because it’s home to Moonlight Basin, Bridger Bowl and Big Sky Resort. Big Sky wins for the most acres per skier in the country, with 300 runs on four connected mountains offering 5,800 acres of snowy terrain. Plus, visitors can take advantage of its proximity to Yellowstone National Park, which is about an hour’s drive away. Bozeman is a very walkable town with interesting restaurants and cute cafes and shops dotting its Main Street.

Where to stay: Staying at a bed and breakfast in Bozeman is, of course, the thing to do. Inns range from quaint 19th-century Victorian mansions such as Voss Inn to unique lodges like Howlers Inn—North America’s only bed and breakfast and wolf sanctuary.

Anchorage, Alaska

With a summit more than 11,000 feet high, an average snowfall of 400 inches per season and 3,500 acres of terrain, Mammoth Mountain is one of the largest skiing and snowboarding resorts in North America. The longest run here is more than three miles! The resort includes 100 acres of park terrain with rails, boxes, jibs and jumps galore. There are plenty of other winter activities to keep the whole family entertained, including ice skating and dog sledding. Yosemite National Park is just 45 minutes away by car.

The Sweet Magnolia Inn was built in 1907 and is the very picture of what you might imagine a bed and breakfast to be with its wrap-around deck and antique furnishings.
