Best Ski Resort for Singles

Looking for the best ski resort for singles? During the winter season, swishing down the slopes on skis or a snowboard is a favorite pastime for many active singles, and many ski resorts are famous (or infamous) for their lively apres ski and nightlife. Because of these two factors, ski resorts are an excellent place for singles to meet up with others who enjoy some of the same hobbies--being outdoors, playing in the snow, and enjoying the hours between dinner and bedtime.

Mont Tremblant is a top choice for skiing singles.

There are certainly some ski resorts that are more family oriented, and others that definitely cater to singles. Gather some of your girl or guy friends and start planning a trip to one of the best ski resorts for singles. You are certain to have the time of your life and you might even meet that special someone.

 With the most vertical and skiing acreage in Canada, Whistler Blackcomb is ranked by many ski magazines and travel publications as the best ski resort in North America.

  Just a few footsteps from the ski hill, Whistler's apres ski and nightlife scene provides incredible views, ample patio space and plenty of music and people. From live venues to slopeside bars and DJs playing well into the night, this legendary resort is known as one of the top singles scenes.

 Mountain Creek transforms into a winter playground each season. Forty-five trails and three terrain parks are serviced by 11 chair lifts and a gondola.

 Because it is only about a one-hour drive from New York City, Mountain Creek is the best ski resort for singles from the Manhattan area. The bars and clubs are filled to the brim during the weekend. Kink at South is the ultimate party scene and features some of the top DJs from NYC.

 Winter Park is just a couple of hours from Denver and boasts some of the best powder and steeps in the Colorado Rockies.

 Following a long day on the slopes, fill your evenings with nights out at any one of the many restaurants or bars in Winter Park. The Derailer Bar is a favorite for apres ski, or check out The Pub on the north side of town for a great beer. Local hangouts, such as Buckets and Deno's Mountain Bistro, are fun, laid back and easy going.

 Breckenridge ski resort is well-known for its world-class skiing and wide-open trails. This Colorado favorite not only boasts excellent downhill, but also a legendary nightlife, making it one of the best ski resorts for singles.

 When the chair lifts shut down at four and the sun goes behind the mountains, the bars, restaurants and clubs are ready to rock and roll. Singles gravitate here because of its fantastic nightlife and excellent restaurants. Often the town doesn't go to sleep until well after two in the morning.
