For those who love the thrill of skiing combined with the daring fashion statement of wearing a bikini, several unique destinations in the U.S. offer the perfect blend of snow, sun, and style. Here's where you can make the slopes your runway:
Squaw Valley, California (Now Palisades Tahoe)
Squaw Valley, now known as Palisades Tahoe, has captured attention for its "Juneary" phenomenon where skiers, including those in bikini tops, hit the slopes well into the summer months. The long ski season here, often extending into late spring or even August, allows for unique experiences like skiing in swimwear, especially when the sun is out and temperatures are unusually warm. With a backdrop of stunning mountain views and the potential for a dip in the High Camp pool after your run, it's the quintessential place for a bikini ski adventure.
Aspen, Colorado
Aspen's reputation as a playground for models, moguls, and celebrities extends to its skiing culture. While not specifically known for bikini skiing, the après-ski scene here is vibrant enough to make a swimwear statement feel right at home. With four different mountains offering varied skiing experiences, you might find the warmer days when skiing in less is both a statement and a spectacle. The après-ski culture means you can transition from the slopes to a pool or hot tub for that perfect Instagram shot.
Park City, Utah
Park City has become a trendy spot for winter sports enthusiasts looking to blend fashion with skiing. While traditional winter attire is the norm, the occasional warm day or event can turn the slopes into a parade of colorful swimwear. Influencers and social media-savvy skiers have been known to capture their moments here, especially during events or at the end of the season when the sun starts to feel more like spring.
Mammoth Mountain, California
Mammoth Mountain boasts one of the longest ski seasons in the country, which means there's a good chance you'll hit warm enough days to ski in a bikini. Known for its high elevation and substantial snow base, even late into the season, the mountain can offer sunny days where the temperature is just right for a swimsuit. The extended season often sees skiers enjoying the slopes in light attire, making it a potential spot for those looking to combine skiing with a bit of sunbathing.
