6 Mountain Towns Where You Can Shred the Slopes and Hit Deadlines
The idea of a winter workcation — a few focused days of remote work framed by mornings on the lift and late-afternoon turns — is more realistic now than ever. Ski-industry trends reported in November 2024 suggest travel demand is likely to rise slightly, with Western U.S. resorts expected to see stable occupancy and modest rate growth. That makes winter stays attractive if you plan ahead. This guide picks six U.S. mountain towns that blend dependable ski access with the practical basics remote workers need: reachable airports or regional hubs, a range of lodging suited to longer stays, and local spots that support focused work. I prioritized places with established tourism infrastructure and a growing appetite for longer stays. The research available covers overall market trends well but leaves gaps on exact broadband tests and coworking inventories for each town. For that reason, each town entry highlights what to check before booking: internet reliability at your property, coworking availability for team meetings, and travel logistics for winter weather. Use this list as a planning starting point and confirm specifics for your dates. With a little prep, you can swap a cubicle view for a chairlift view without missing deadlines.
