So, now that Australians will be able to fly to North American from just before Christmas 2021, we've had dozens of enquiries about what's available. Normally earlybird deals are available in February, for travel the following January. Obviously, this year is a bit different. Due to the much shorter lead time, airlines have offered us airfares, that are the cheapest ever, in real terms.
Earlybird deals are now available & only minimal deposit of $100 person is required & only USD$40 for accommodation & lift tickets.
One Queensland family of 4, who are going to visit relatives in the USA, want to tag on a week or 9 days on snow & asked for 2 costings:-
the absolute cheapest on snow apartment for 7 nights, within a few hundred metres of ski lifts & similar costing for 9 nights, but in better accommodation with only 1 weekend & not over Martin Luther King long weekend 14-17 January 2022.
for only AUD$1999/adult & AUD$1499/child(*)
you can get:-
1) return flights from Brisbane to Los Angeles departing am 4 Jan 2022, arriving same am. Coming home evening of 19 Jan 2022, arriving home am 21 Jan 2022
(flying out of Sydney or Melbourne to LAX or San Francisco (& Brisbane), from 4 to 9 Jan 2022 would be the same cost-earlier flights, would simply cost up to $500 per person more)
UPGRADE TO BUSINESS CLASS !!!
You can even upgrade straight to one of the worlds best business class, by bidding online. Bidding starts at AUD$865 for a long haul sector.
LOW COST LOUNGE ACCESS
Low cost lounge access with free food & drinks, is available if paid for at time of booking.
2) 7 nights on snow in a 2 or 3 star moderate sized apartment in Telemark, Copper Mt resort, Colorado, voted the best family & also the best value snow resort in all of North America 2021.
Apartment is only 200m flat walk to 6 & 8 person lifts.
Bedding:- murphy bed + set of bunks in 2 separate areas, 1 bathroom.

We based this costing on 7-14 Jan 2022.
3) 6 days lift tickets for all 4 people
NOT INCLUDED:-
i) Airfares from any of 10 major Californian airports (5 in LA, 3 in San Fran) to any of 5 major Colorado airports, as can either buy these or use frequent flyer points, for example, from 12,000 Qantas points one way (or soon 11,800 Virgin pts) Don't have enough points ? You can use points one way & buy in other direction.
NOTE: quite a few airlines have not released their fares beyond 5 Jan 2022 at this time, including the largest Southwest. When they do most airlines airfares will reduce their fares in competition. This hopefully means one way airfares from USD$49(~AUD$66) including 2 checked bags.
ii) Airport transfers – as there are quite a few options, including our own coach transfers from airport to Frisco/Copper with brief comfort stop, from AUD$39/person one way, on certain dates only
or other regular discount transfers that operate every hour to an hour & a half from AUD$135/one way for family of 2 adults & 2 kids under 13. This option requires a change of bus at transfer centre.
or other door to door transfers that operate every hour to an hour & a half from AUD$176/one way for a family of 2 adults & 2 kids under 13.
or rent a car for 1 day, 1 way (pricing subject to confirmation but in the order of AUD$235 for a full sized car from downtown Denver including 1 way fee)
iii) To fit in with the best flight deals - you have 7 more nights anywhere in USA or Canada, for example at same ski resort, at another ski resort, in LA or San Fran, Las Vegas, New York City, drive Hwy 1 from LA to San Fran, drive Las Vegas to Grand Canyon (2 hours) & then drive from Las Vegas back to LA (~3.5 hours)
(note: it’s very easy to get frequent flyer tickets on most days to anywhere else in USA or to Canada). Eg. from only 14,000 Qantas points to western Canada & from only 18,000 Qantas points to fly to New York City or anywhere on the east coast USA or Canada. It's also the same number of points to get from Colorado to Las Vegas, as Colorado to LA or San Fran.
OPTION 2
9 nights on snow accommodation, not 7
7 days lift tickets for all 4 people not 6 days
4 or 5 star accommodation (either small 2 bedroom apartment or large 1 bedroom loft or den apartment) within 200m of 6/8 person lifts

5 additional nights not 7 to spend in USA or Canada
Add extra AUD$1999 total for the family of 4

Obviously, there are hundreds of other accommodation options & the longer you stay, the cheaper it gets per night including lift tickets. Prices will of course, vary depending on when you book, how many weekends you stay, which cost more per night than midweek, how many & what ages of kids, standard of accommodation etc.
