- Holidays sell out first. Christmas week, MLK and Presidents' Day weekends, and spring break fill slopeside lodging months ahead. Other weeks often have deals close in.
- Book refundable, then watch the snow. Hold a room you can cancel, then check the Bear Mountain snow forecast a week out. The best time to ski Bear Mountain page shows which months are usually snowiest.
- Know what "ski-in/ski-out" means. Some listings are a long walk or a shuttle from the lifts. Read what ski-in/ski-out really means before paying extra.
- Traveling with kids? Stay close to ski school drop-off. See the family ski trip guide and the free ski trip planner.
