With the season approaching and many resorts getting ready to open, now is the moment to reserve both dates and lodging before lifts and rentals fill. Several destinations — including Big Sky, Montana and Sun Valley, Idaho — are requiring advance lift reservations this year, so travelers planning snowy getaways are booking their stays earlier than usual. Across North America, Airbnb remains a go-to for slopeside homes that combine thoughtful design with convenient access.
Whether you crave a glass-walled chalet above Revelstoke, an A-frame near Alberta powder, or a contemporary lodge a short drive from Killington, these properties let you customize a winter escape. Below are 18 standout Airbnbs for ski and snowboard trips across the U.S. and Canada, chosen for first-track access, après-ski potential, mountain views, and cozy winter comforts.
