Ideas for Winter Holidays

Yes, it's that time again!  The weather is getting colder and this year's summer holiday feels like a distant memory.  Maybe you're still thinking you could do with a small break before the year ends; perhaps you're a little tired of your local town and it's busy traffic.  Fear not!   There is a way you can leave this behind for a long weekend and come back feeling refreshed.

The US has plenty of winter activities that can suit everyone.  Here are some ideas for you: 
 
Snowboarding:  Sounds obvious we know, but if you've spent most of your winters skiing, this can be your chance to try something different.  Maybe this year you'll discover your new favorite.
 
Cross Country Skiing:  If you don't like heights or downhill skiing this is a little slower paced and you can take more time to enjoy the scenery.
 
Snowmobiles:  This is something you can do with friends - it's fast pased, easy and, let's face it, a lot of fun!
 
These are just some of the things you can do over the winter period.  Other activities to try are sledding, snow tubing, ice hockey, speed skating, figure skating and ice fishing.  We hope it helps with some holiday fun over the next few months!
