Best vacation destination between Christmas and New Years?
Posted on 4/18/17 at 9:01 am

Live in New Orleans but usually always have the week off in between Christmas and New Years. I know this is probably not a cheap time to travel because a lot of people are in the same situation. Looking for a cool place to visit around that time where I might be able to ski a couple days but also have other options if I don't want to ski 5 days in a row. Don't mind flying but also don't want to drop $5,000 for me and the wife. Any cool winter getaway recommendations?

I was looking up the German Christmas markets. You can get there for less than 1500 a piece during christmas.

That's not laughably unreasonable imo.

6 nights at a ski resort plus flights and other activities for 2 during that time of year? And he's asking for "best"... Travel and lodging will be 3k alone at the very least and that's low-balling. Food, ski rental, car rental, etc. Nothing under 5k for what he's asking.

yeah, good point. I thought he only wanted to ski a day or 2

Never said ski resort. Just somewhere to see snow where skiing and other activities would be an option. Like Vancouver. A quick search I got airfare and hotel for $1800 for 2 people 4 nights :lol:

Thanks. You've been a big help.

Vancouver would probably be pretty cool. You could drive to ski in whistler.

You think spending 5000 grand or less for 5 days is laughable?
You can do that easily, even at ski resorts.

If he wants to do something for 5 days, that's 6 nights, correct? If he's coming from NOLA, that gets bookended by travel days. Those travel days and resort/hotel stays are during the most expensive time of year. He wants to ski anywhere from 2 to 5 days along with other "activities". And then the has "best" in the title. What am I missing?

You're interpreting "best" as in 5 star "this is one of the highest end resorts and first class travel".
I'm interpreting "best vacation destination" as in where would be an ideal place I can go that time of year for the money.

New Orleans to Denver cheapest on google flights is $880. Checking anything close to a ski place in Colorado right now is running $200 per night minimum. Something decent closer to say Breckenridge is almost $400. But that's another $1200. So we are over 2k already and we haven't gotten a car or rented anything or eaten anything or done anything for 7 days.
