Top 10 Earliest Places to Get Your Ski On

Turkey Day's come and gone and now it's time to start working off that spare tire. No better place than the slopes to work off some mashed potatoes and gravy but what to do if your neck of the woods isn't flush with powder? Skisnowboard.com has put out there list of the best places to catch some fresh snow before the season really kicks into high gear.

1. Alta / Snowbird, Utah
2. Grand Targhee / Jackson Hole, Wyoming
3. Steamboat, Colorado
4. Whistler / Blackcomb, British Columbia, Canada

I'd love to go skiing in Canada sometime. But I would have to say that Colorado has the best ski vacation resorts. Keep an eye on weather reports and beat the rush for a good time.
