We did Grand Canyon/Zion/Bryce in winter. Beautiful national parks.

Montreal and/or Quebec City, if Canada allows US citizens in. Snow, lots of French, a stamp on your passport, plenty of excellent food....

So here's the thing. Wife and I have never snow skied and not averted to it, but I think I'm going to lose interest in it pretty quick. Is there enough to occupy our time at a ski resort outside of skiing?

Northstar Lake Tahoe. Awesome place to stay. About 20 minutes from Truckee, CA. Tons of cool restaurants and shops. Northstar has ice skating and tubing etc. However, skiing is awesome, not something you get “bored” of. My wife (Louisiana native) went for first time last year and is addicted. Is still talking about it.
My first ski trip was literally life-changing. Went skiing for the first time in Quebec. Skiing wasn't even the primary reason for the trip. My wife and I were visiting a friend in Montreal in late December. I wanted to try skiing since there were some small ski areas close by. The weather was -25C (-13F) in the morning. The wife was miserable. I had the time of my life. 2 years later, I ended up moving to Idaho because I didn't want to be too far from a ski area. I had never lived outside of the South until moving to Idaho. Don't think I'll ever move back.

Speaking of non-skiing activities, if you're in the Montreal area, there's a dog sledding place in rural Quebec that was very enjoyable. Unlike most dog sledding places, they actually allow you to drive the dogs yourself. It's a bit more physically demanding than just being along for the ride but well worth it.

What part of Idaho? I’m here now and it’s incredible.

I’m in the Boise area right now since I’m working in the tech industry. Once I retire, I’d like to move to either Sun Valley, CDA, or McCall.

Last year my kids wanted to see snow for Christmas. So we did a quick 3 night trip and came back Christmas Eve. We arrived in Denver at 9 am on the first day and left Christmas Eve in the evening so we had 4 days really. We stayed at the Keystone Lodge which was nice. The first day we just walked around keystone village, ate some good food, went up to the top of the mountain which has a place called Kidtopia (lighted snow fort) which the kids liked. There was also a Santa up there for the kids to take a pic with the fat man. The kids also ice skated on the lake which was nice and has a huge lit up Christmas Tree on it.
2nd day we went snowmobiling in the late morning for a few hours, came back to relax, then went on a sleigh ride dinner later that night. Very enjoyable day.
3rd day we drove to Beaver Creek and went Tubing and the rode the mountain coaster 5 times. Better than the ones in Gatlinburg.
4th day, kids ice skated again and we went shopping around Keystone before taking our time heading back to Denver to fly home.
It was a nice, quick trip, especially since it was right before Christmas.

Nice. We did a night in Ketchum then have spent the last several days hiking the Sawtooth area and staying in Stanley. It’s really incredible.
