Survey
The most expensive ski resorts in North America
Updated: January 27, 2014
A resort in Utah has claimed the top spot on a new survey from CheapHotels.org. Located in Utah's Park City, Deer Valley has earned the title of North America's most expensive ski resort. In coming up with the rankings, the survey looked at all important ski resorts in the USA and Canada. Then, using the month of February as its comparison point, the survey ranked the resorts according to their lodging cost.
An overnight stay at the Deer Valley Resort will cost ski lovers $395 per night this February. As high as that figure sounds, it will only secure them the most affordable double room. Coming in second on the survey is another Utah resort, the Snowbird. An average per-night rate of $312 secured it the number two spot. Rounding out the top three is a Colorado ski resort, Beaver Creek. There, overnighters can expect to pay a minimum of $289 nightly for a double room.
