If you want complete privacy this ski season, five-star resorts and luxury tour operators are working to create once-in-a-lifetime winter experiences where you’ll barely encounter anyone from outside your household. Forego chairlift lines and busy chalets for untouched terrain only accessible by helicopter and a lodge reserved entirely for your family. Whether you’re called to the San Juan Mountains of Colorado or the famed peaks of Big Sky, Montana, you can buy a second home at a members-only club, buy out a lodge on a private mountain, or book a private ski experience with an Olympian at your favorite luxury ski resort. Either way, you’ll have all the luxury amenities of a mountain resort with none of the crowds with these eight private ski experiences in the U.S.
