If you enjoy cold weather and outdoor activities, then planning a ski vacation is a great way to enjoy your time off.  You will be able to hit the slopes early in the morning and spend the entire day exploring trails and paths with your family or by yourself. While there are many choices when planning a ski vacation, some of the most popular destinations are upstate New York, Maine, Colorado, New Hampshire, and Ontario, Canada. These places have some of the most difficult trails for you to master.

Once you have decided on a ski destination, you will have to find a ski resort that suits your needs. Many resorts offer a wide variety of options for those who are traveling with their families including activities for children, skiing, ice skating, movies, indoor swimming pools, and restaurants. Some resorts have babysitting services for when parents want to go out and enjoy themselves in the evening. If traveling with children, it is important to make sure the ski resort has plenty of activities for children and those who don't want to ski. 

Those who ski often usually bring their own equipment when staying at a ski resort. But you can also rent skis and other equipment if you don't own any. Rentals are reasonably priced and you will be able to find everything you need. Before your trip, buy a warm jacket, ski pants, boots, and other equipment you think you will need. These items can be packed easily in your suitcase. Make sure you also pack gloves, a hat, and ear protection in case it is too cold outside. 

One of the best places to ski in the Northeastern US is Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. This ski area is known for its high elevations and number of trails. Created in 1951, this resort leaves a last impression on everyone who skis it. Another Northeastern ski area is Cannon Mountain in New Hampshire. This ski resort is home to the New England Ski Museum. Here you will find photographs, film footage, and ski equipment from different eras. 

Skiing is one of the most popular pastimes during the winter months because there are many people who enjoy climbing the mountain and then sliding their way back down. This is group sport that is enjoyed by families, friends, and strangers. Many people have struck up longtime friendships at ski resorts. Each year, avid skiers return to their favorite ski resorts and meet up with old friends. 

If you have never been skiing before, you should consider taking lessons first. Those who don't like to ski, but who enjoy vacationing in ski resorts can be found in the great room reading, talking, and enjoy the scenery. If you don't want to ski, you will still find that ski resorts can be a relaxing place to spend your vacation.
