Skiing and Snowboarding are great fun whether you are alone, with friends, or family. Many ski resorts both big and small around the U.S. offer great military discounts for active duty military (and their families), retired military, and in some cases, friends too! Here is a rundown by state of military discounts we have found. Know of a deal we missed, or have any other comments? Let us know in the comments section!
