"Winter vacations often unfold into two options: Do nothing somewhere warm, or do the most somewhere cold. But what if on your next winter getaway, you just feel like chilling out with a mug of hot cocoa, ideally alongside a campfire, with a majestic, snowy landscape as your backdrop? Luckily, there are winter resorts across the US where there's skiing and snowboarding, yes, but there's also snowshoeing, ice skating, and-for the true slackers-Nordic-inspired spas."
"For a scenic, cold-weather escape, consider the Rocky Mountain towns of the West-Big Sky, Sundance, Jackson Hole -as well as the Catskill and Adirondack regions in the East. Many snowy locations across the US, from Vermont to Montana, boast resorts that go beyond the ski trails. Lone Mountain Ranch in Big Sky, for example, offers guests additional outdoor adventures like snowshoeing, winter fly fishing, and sleigh rides."
Winter vacations can be either warm relaxation or active cold-weather adventures. Many U.S. winter resorts combine skiing and snowboarding with activities like snowshoeing, ice skating, dog-sledding, and Nordic-inspired spas. Lodgings often feature stone fireplaces, wooden paneling, and rustic-chic design that suit cozy retreats. Notable regions include Rocky Mountain towns such as Big Sky, Sundance, and Jackson Hole, and Eastern areas like the Catskills and Adirondacks. Properties like Lone Mountain Ranch add winter fly fishing, sleigh rides, and guided sled-dog experiences. Western resorts tend to be pricier, while some Northeastern destinations offer more affordable mountain vacations.
