    What, never?! May I suggest suggest one of the thousands of resort (and resort-like) areas in Colorado? The Rocky Mountains are snowy and beautiful, but also dry with a high elevation, so the cold is (usually) much less cold than the same temperatures at lower elevations. I might be biased, though, since I'm from Denver.

    Or Lake Tahoe? It's quite beautiful in the snow, and you have the option of two states: California or Nevada. Also a lower elevation (only six thousand and change) than most of the Rockies, some people are sensitive to high altitudes.

    I live in central Maine. Can I come stay at your house and you come stay at mine... let's plan for a week in mid-January. :-)
    Try this: http://www.mooseheadcabins.com/maine_winter_vacation.html. Or, Google cabin rentals in Greenville, Maine and plan to come up here in mid to late January. You'll see some good snow and Greenville sits right on Moosehead Lake, which is beautiful.

    Just avoid it. It's cold and sloppy and crappy. You have to bundle up and wear lots of clothes and gloves and hats, it sticks to your pants and makes them cold and wet. Stay where it's warm and sunny and grass is green and leaves on the trees.

    I'm just trying to be funny. I live in Nebraska and we get plenty of snow and I hate it. I would love to move south somewhere where I never, ever have to see it again.

    I would suggest Colorado for your vacation. Beautiful mountains and ski resorts there and then you can go home to sunny, warm Florida when you have had enough and thaw out. :laugh:

    I'm from Minnesota and so far no snow but we should get some soon. There are resorts up in the northern part of the state, like Brainerd, they have beautiful cabins, not sure on the skiing part but have lots of other things you can do, like snow mobile trails, snowshoeing, and ice fishing.

    But I've heard place in Colorado are just gorgeous to ski,

    I am from Minnesota. It is overrated! Trust me on this!!!!! It sounds romantic, but it is a giant pain in the *kitten*. But if you really want to see it - lets switch places for the winter. ;)

    Yes NEVER! No one in my family has, so it will really be an experience of a lifetime. Thanks for the suggestions. Too many option in Colorado so I'm attempting to narrow it down.

    If you're going skiing, Ogden, Utah. Beautiful mountains and great snow.
    It's less crowded than the ski resorts in Colorado.

    NOT Illinois. Some years we barely get any snow, some years we get tons, and it always turns to gray slush on the second day. Just putting that out there in case anyone actually recommends it for snow.
