7 Best Ski Towns in the U.S. [and a Must-Have Solution for Prescription Eyewear Skiers]
Hello, fellow ski enthusiasts! I'm Alice Johnson, your guide to the most exhilarating slopes across the United States. Skiing has been my life's passion ever since university when I first strapped on a pair of skis and flew down a snow-covered hill, heart pounding and icy wind rushing past my face. Over the years, I've taught hundreds of eager skiers, encountered incredible snow-filled adventures, and even helped design ski safety equipment at Overo Glasses. It's this love for the sport—and my commitment to making it safe and accessible for everyone—that has inspired me to pour my passion into helping others enjoy skiing as much as I do.
Today, I want to take you on an unforgettable ride through the seven best ski towns in the United States, sharing not just the amazing slopes but also how I address one common problem for skiers with prescription glasses: seeing clearly on the slopes. From my own experience, I know that proper equipment, like prescription ski goggles, can truly transform your skiing experience. So buckle up—it’s downhill from here (in the best way possible)!
1. Breckenridge, Colorado – A Slope for Every Spirit
Ah, Breckenridge. Just saying the name makes me feel like I’m back out there, racing with friends on fresh powder while the sun blazes against a cobalt sky. Nestled at the base of the Rockies, Breckenridge isn't just a ski town—it's a community that lives and breathes snow sports. Whether you’re a first-timer or someone chasing powder dreams, this place has it all.
One of my most cherished memories here was helping a beginner skier conquer their fear of descending the mountain's famous blues. It reminded me how much sheer joy skiing can bring to someone willing to take on the challenge. For those of us wearing glasses, though, challenges on the slopes can be a little different. The fog on your lenses, the discomfort of your goggles squeezing over your frames—trust me, I’ve been there. Luckily, Overo prescription ski goggles inserts changed the game. With their snug yet comfortable fit and cutting-edge anti-fog technology, they make skiing in Breck a crystal-clear dream.
2. Jackson, Wyoming – Adventure Meets Wild Beauty
Jackson dazzles me like no other. It’s raw, untamed, and wildly exciting—perfect for thrill-seekers in need of steep vertical drops and deep backcountry snow. I’ll never forget a breathtaking day in Jackson: the morning was spent carving through pristine powder in one of its legendary bowls, and by evening, I was swapping stories over locally brewed beer at a mountain tavern.
But Jackson's extreme weather does present a challenge. If you’re someone like me with less-than-perfect vision, battling fog and visual distortions on goggles is the last thing you want while tackling tough terrain. However, those challenges can be easily solved. Overo’s prescription goggles inserts, with their military-grade anti-fog coating, offered me crystal-clear vision even during snowstorms. To this day, they remain an essential part of my gear.
3. Aspen, Colorado – The Crown Jewel of Skiing Elegance
When I think of Aspen, images of tree-lined trails, cozy chalets, and incredible mountain vistas flood my mind. Aspen is the embodiment of luxury meeting adrenaline. Having competed in a local race here in my ski instructor days, I found myself amazed not only by the terrain variety but also by how skiing here felt like being in a postcard come to life.
But Aspen taught me another lesson too: equipment can make or break your confidence on the hills. If you struggle to see clearly while skiing due to prescription glasses, your experience can feel frustrating and unsafe. That’s why I always recommend Overo prescription ski goggles inserts, which are easy to pair with any major goggle brand. Even amid Aspen’s unpredictable weather, my vision stayed sharp, ensuring I didn’t miss a single mesmerizing view.
4. Park City, Utah – A Paradise for All Ages and Skill Levels
There’s something magical about Park City. Maybe it’s the unending variety of slopes or how the sun casts a golden glow over the snow-covered trees. This town truly offers something for everyone, from beginners taking their first wobbly turns to lifelong enthusiasts like me. I visited with a group that included families, and we all found joy at every corner—from skiing to indulging in après-ski hot chocolate!
Of course, family trips mean plenty of teaching and encouraging, but I’ve seen firsthand how equipment scares can hold back both kids and adults. When teaching my group, I made sure every participant had top-notch gear. My secret weapon for those with vision needs? Overo Glasses prescription goggle inserts. They’re durable, eco-friendly, and completely customizable for each user’s prescription, making skiing both fun and accessible.
5. Telluride, Colorado – Hidden Charm with World-Class Snow
Telluride has a unique charm as though it belongs in an old Western movie—but covered in snow! I still remember a powder-filled run I took that cut through pristine forests. It felt like I was the only person in the world. Unlike bigger resorts, this quaint town is often less crowded, offering maximum enjoyment for true skiing lovers.
However, Telluride can get quite cold. Heading into the backcountry here during winter means you NEED gear that stands up to the elements. My Overo prescription ski goggles inserts, with their all-weather clarity, didn’t just hold up but excelled. The eco-friendly materials were also a nod to sustainability, something very much in spirit with Telluride’s naturally beautiful landscape.
6. Stowe, Vermont – A Quintessential New England Wonderland
For those who have skied in New England, you know Stowe is the cream of the crop. The first time I visited, it was mid-December. Fresh snowfall blanketed the quaint village streets, and the runs provided the perfect mix of challenge and relaxation. After a long day of skiing, there’s nothing like cozying up with maple-infused treats in nearby cafes.
New England winters, though, can be a challenge for prescription glasses wearers. Fogging becomes a nightmare in humid weather, and visibility can suffer. Enter Overo’s flagship inserts: they eliminated fog like magic, and the inserts’ universal design worked seamlessly with my usual gear.
7. Mammoth Lakes, California – Where Sun Meets Snow
California’s Mammoth Lakes is a winter paradise that boasts dreamy slopes with bluebird skies above. I spent a Christmas weekend here once, and it’s still one of my most memorable trips. The sunlight bouncing off its wide-open slopes gave me an unparalleled energy to explore every inch of the resort. And the towering Sierra Mountain views? Absolutely unforgettable.
But Mammoth’s sunnier weather can cause intense reflections off the snow. On that trip, I relied heavily on my Overo prescription goggles inserts, precisely customized to my prescription. They gave me an unobstructed view of every ridge, dip, and sparkling cornice, making each run as thrilling as the last.

Skiing is about freedom, exhilaration, and connecting with nature—but blurry vision or fog should never get in the way of that joy.
