Welojets provides the list of the most popular ski resorts in the US, all in Colorado and remotely located, while also sharing the best regional airports to land a private aircraft.
Winter is near and for the private aviation industry that translates into increased bookings to ski resorts in the country. Welojets, a private aviation company based in Miami, shares the top ski locations and regional airports that can be easily accessed on a private jet.
One of private aviation’s main traits is the possibility to land close to the destination and in remote locations, avoiding large crowds at international airports. This explains why it is such a popular choice for those seeking a flawless ski experience, especially for passengers flying with their own equipment, as there are no extra fees for transporting skiing gear while also having the possibility of carrying it in the cabin, thus avoiding potential damages.

1) Breckenridge

Its closing date is projected for May 2022.

Vail is potentially the most popular ski resort in the states today.
