There is a great deal of uncertainty when it comes to future international travel, including for the Northern Hemisphere winter. At Scout, we’re here to help by communicating the best deals on offer for this season as well as the nitty gritty of cancellation policies across the ski resorts. The good news is that most ski resorts and hotels are now extending book-by dates for their Early Bird Deals, giving you a little more time to lock in a great value ski trip. In addition to the list below, many of our lodging suppliers are offering full refunds should travel from your country (or to theirs) still be restricted. We've compiled a list of ski resorts with the best cancellation policies to help you make the right decision when it comes to securing your next ski vacation and take out any worry you might have.
