2 adults, mostly outdoors stuff. I've been to some of these places listed below, but always want to go back as some of the time spent may have been short lived. She's never been any of these I don't believe.

Example of what trips we like, this past January we spent 2 days in Pagosa Springs, 2 days skiing wolf creek pass and 2 days in Durango, then spent a day in Great Sand Dunes NP.

So far options we're bouncing around are (in no particular order):

1. Salt Lake City, Park City and Jackson Hole.

2. Utah Mighty 5.

3. Whitefish and Glacier, maybe tack on Banff.

4. Seattle, Mount Rainier and Olympic.

5. San Fran, Yosemite and Tahoe.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks for any input and guidance.

Skip Salt Lake. Park City has a good enough real town vibe, nightlife, dining, shopping etc to satisfy those needs. The skiing is great. Jackson Hole is literally heaven on earth. Spend as much time there as possible (hope you're a good skier, if so it doesn't get any better).

I’m not going to whistler without my mountain bike and 4 days of warm dry weather on the schedule.

Whitefish and Glacier,


Just so you know, it gets really cold here in the winter. Glacier is all but closed as well - unless you want to ski in, snowshoe, or stare at a frozen lake McDonald from apgar. Limited services.

Whitefish is fantastic in the winter.

Lots of other great spots but I’m not allowed to spill the beans otherwise the other locals will hate me.

The Canadian Rockies offer the best skiing, but it can be brutally cold up there. To the point where it isn’t fun to be outside.

I live in Montana and I find that my hands start to ache around -20 for example.
