MLK Weekend Skiing
MLK weekend is a great time for a ski getaway but it can also mean crowds and traffic. Here are some tips for you before hitting the mountain slopes. Firstly, if there is flexibility at work, consider extending the long weekend with additional time off to avoid the holiday rush. This means you can beat the crowds getting to the ski resort and get more ski time in. Secondly, book a ski package which bundles ski lodging, ski passes, equipment rentals and transport to save. Make sure to book early to lock in discounts. Below are ski resort packages that are great for MLK weekend.
