Almost all resorts offer package deals and most people can do quite well by themselves. Whether you are planning a trip to Stowe Vermont, Aspen Colorado or Vail Colorado, the resorts are of such quality you would be hard pressed not to do well by yourself whether you book through an agent or do it yourself.
