The quality of snow is one of the reasons Colorado is so popular with skiers. The state’s Rocky Mountains - home to mining towns that once played host to outlaws such as Butch Cassidy - are so far from the sea that there is hardly any moisture in the snow, which means it’s easy to ski.

Vail, Aspen and Snowmass offer mountainous skiing with base villages linked by gondolas. Quality hotels, restaurants and bars provide more reasons why tourist numbers are high.
