Use this mega-rental portfolio to sort through various slopeside properties. One great option: BlueSky Breckenridge. The 52 one- to four-bedroom condos have stone fireplaces, their own lift and ticket booths, and access to a fitness center and the over-the-top Sacred Tree Spa & Wellness Center (from $513 per night to sleep nine; resortquestbreckenridge.com).

Just plug in your travel dates, number of bedrooms, and destination, and within five minutes you could be locked in for five days at Crested Butte’s Black Bear Lodge, which offers spectacular mountain views. Just a short walk to the West Wall lift, it’s outfitted with vaulted ceilings as well as heated sidewalks and driveways (no ice!) (from $522 per night to sleep 10; moguls.com).

VRBO.COM
Search private homes on Vacation Rentals by Owner. For instance, “Tuckaway” in Jackson Hole, right by the Moose Creek lift, sleeps 18 (five bedrooms), and has two newly renovated kitchens and a hot tub (from $795 per night in winter months, with a four-night minimum; vrbo.com).
