Forbes broke the list into several categories, including single-day tickets, rentals, accommodations, airfare, and car rental.

Whitefish Mountain Resort is one of the most underrated ski resorts in the Pacific Northwest, and even though their single-day passes seem high, the rental prices for gear are incredibly affordable.

Plus, Whitefish is a fun and unique ski town.
