Ready to explore a gigantic ice fort? Maybe you’d rather zoom down an Olympic bobsled track or race your family on fast multi-lane tubing hills. Let’s not forget moonlit snowshoe tours, sleigh rides to gourmet dinners or a horseback ride in the snow.

These days, heading to a snow resort offers a lot more than skiing and riding wherever you find yourself looking for some fun in the snow. And even the fittest person will likely need a day off from the slopes. (Massage, anyone?) Ski town resorts are known for their fabulous spas! (Find more fun in the snow options in our Winter Getaways section!)
