Get ready for an exciting winter holiday season in 2025! Alaska Airlines has announced a range of new nonstop flights connecting West Coast cities to some of North America's top-rated ski resorts. From 20 December 2025 to 16 March 2026, skiers and snowboarders in Seattle and San Diego can take advantage of thrice-weekly flights to Vail, Colorado. This new route allows travellers to bypass the notorious I-70 traffic and head straight for Vail's famous champagne powder and clear blue skies.
