Is skiing in Colorado passé? Travel influencer Camille Larmoyeux of luxurytravelermedia certainly seems to think so! Specifically she thinks traveling to Europe to ski is a better overall deal than traveling to Colorado. So, if you already live in Colorado, this video probably isn’t for you…
Here are the influencer’s five reasons:
- Europe is less expensive than Colorado
- Europe is less crowded than Colorado
- Mountains and ski areas are much bigger in Europe (interconnected areas included)
- Europe has better food than Colorado
- It’s easier to get to Europe from the East Coast than it is to get to Colorado
I think the first point and the fifth point might be a bit of a stretch. A flight from the East Coast to Colorado is typically ~5 hours max. A flight from the East Coast to any European ski area is going to be closer to ~7-8 hours. Now obviously it depends on where you’re going, but flying to a different county will always be more of a hassle than flying to a different state.
What do you think? Is she right?
