Mumm, you make me dream. Almost too many great places to choose from. Could you add which resorts are best for short holidays (and why).

Great site. When I think of a great holiday skiing vacation, I think of Utah, which has been using the "greatest snow on earth" tag in their tourism jargon for some time now. The Utah powder is incredible and most of the resorts are relatively close to the city and airport.
