Frequently Asked Questions
Where can you spend winter in the US at its best?
There are three areas in the United States with more snowfall. Each region has its own experience for snowboarders and skiers.
The Midwest is home to some of the country's largest ski resorts, including Mt. Brighton (Michigan), Crystal Mountain Resort, (Minnesota), or Breckenridge ski resort (Colorado).
There are many small villages and towns in Northeast such as Stowe, Vermont and Killington, Vermont.
Finally, in the Pacific Northwest you will find WhistlerBlackcomb (British Columbia), and Sun Valley (Idaho).
Some of the most popular ski resorts are found in the Midwest. These resorts have a wide range of trails that are suitable for all levels. Additionally, you'll find that lodging in the Midwest is generally more affordable than elsewhere.
The Northeast is known for its smaller, more intimate ski resorts. This region is also home to some of the best powder skiing in the country. If you're looking for a true winter wonderland experience, the Northeast is the place to be.
The Pacific Northwest offers something different in terms of winter experiences. You'll find both large resorts offering a wide range of trails and smaller, more remote resorts. Some of the most beautiful backcountry skiing is found in the Pacific Northwest.
Winter travel doesn't require a lot of money. One option is to stay in one or more of the numerous hostels that are scattered throughout major cities like New York City and San Francisco.
Most hostels have dormitory rooms. These beds are cheap so they won't break your budget. A bed may be available next to your bedroom if you reserve early enough.
You can splurge by staying in a luxury hotel. Many hotels offer private rooms, and breakfast is included. Book a hotel room through Priceline or Airbnb to save even further money
Which is the best spot to enjoy snowy vacations?
Iceland is the best place to find winter wonderlands. Because it is in Northern Europe, Iceland receives more sun during the day than many other places. This allows it to offer visitors the opportunity of experiencing nature at its best. Iceland is the perfect place for adventure seekers, with its glaciers, volcanoes and waterfalls.
However, if you still haven't decided whether you want to spend your next holiday in Iceland or not, here are some reasons why this destination may become your new favourite:
- The scenery - National Geographic described Iceland as "a place of fire and ice." Numerous active volcanoes are found in this small island country, including Mount Hekla which is one of the most powerful eruptions ever recorded. Iceland is famous for its beautiful landscapes. Whether you explore the country on foot or take a helicopter ride over the lava fields, you will surely feel like you're living in another world!
- Icelanders are known for their friendly and warm nature. International tourists are welcomed to Iceland with open arms. Visitors are often welcomed with a traditional Icelandic greeting called Hvalur Hjarta (Warm heart). Locals enjoy showing guests around their country and telling stories about their heritage.
- The wildlife - You might think Iceland is a desert, but you'd be wrong. Although it doesn't receive nearly as much rainfall as other parts of Europe, Iceland is covered in lush green forests. There are many species of birds, fish, and other animals that call Iceland home. The first settlers brought plants from North America to Iceland.
- The culture – Iceland's unique history dates back thousands. There are no casinos or shopping malls in Iceland; tourism plays a big role in the economy. Travelling here won't cost you a fortune - many travellers even report spending less money while visiting Iceland than in Las Vegas.
- The Cuisine. What list would be complete without mentioning Iceland's delicious cuisine? Icelanders are well-known because of their rich and hearty cuisine that includes seafood, lamb meat, reindeer meat, and vegetables. But visitors don't have the obligation to eat Icelandic cuisine while they are in Iceland. Restaurants around the world offer Icelandic-inspired dishes and recipes. For example, French restaurants offer items like chicken soup made with puffin eggs, and Italian eateries prepare pasta topped with salmon.
- The nightlife – You may think Iceland is just a quiet getaway spot. But, you would be wrong. Iceland is best visited at night. The bars and clubs offer entertainment for foreigners throughout the week, and even into the weekend.
- The weather is - While Iceland occasionally experiences extreme temperatures, the general climate is moderate and stable. Because of this, travelling to Iceland isn't going to break the bank. Reykjavik Grapevine Festival has been described as one of the most important music festivals in Northern Hemisphere. This festival attracted over 100,000 people last year.
- Safety - Iceland is very safe. But there are some precautions that you can take to make sure that Iceland stays out of harm's path. You should not wear expensive jewelry, particularly diamonds. Your valuables should not be left in public. If you plan to hike in the countryside, make sure someone is aware of where you are.
- Education - Icelandic language students can use their knowledge to help others. Participating in Icelandic politics will allow you to learn more about the culture.
- Because of its liberal policies Freedom - Iceland has been increasingly popular with tourists. The government was forced to pass legislation prohibiting police officers asking too many questions. They don't want to go after people who break laws, but tourists who inadvertently do so.
- The environment - Because Iceland is such an isolated island, it has remained relatively untouched by humans. This gives the country natural beauty of a different kind. Iceland is far less developed than European countries. You could walk across the entire land in under two days!
- Healthcare - Iceland offers excellent healthcare and is generally affordable.
Where can you find the most beautiful snow?
There is no definitive answer to this question as beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some of the most sought-after snow-covered landscapes include Banff National Park (Canada), the Swiss Alps, or Mount Fuji in Japan.
Snow is everywhere and you don't know where it might be. We don't even know there are mountains of snow or ice. Over thousands of year, stories have been told about snow. It's remarkable how much we perceive reality when we know more about it.
However, snow is not common and its beauty is extremely rare. Only 1% of the Earth's surface is covered in snow and ice. To find the most beautiful snow you have to go somewhere unique.
You will find snow everywhere you go. It is impossible to describe how it feels to see snow gently falling onto a mountain peak. These places aren't too far or too cold to miss, so don't forget them.
To experience snow, you should travel to areas where it is most common. It's possible to see breathtaking views if you are near a ski resort. You can visit them even if the destination is far from you. A lot of websites display snowfall from space. It gives you a good idea of the size of the snowflakes.
A local ski hill, or hiking trail might be worth your time. You will often find signs at these spots that mark the areas where there is heavy snow. These signs can be helpful in planning your trip.

- During the winter season, almost 80% of the sea gets covered with drift ice. (blog.japanwondertravel.com)
- It has all the natural wonder and beauty familiar to regular visitors to the region, 200 miles of pristine shoreline, and sunshine for 90 percent of the year against a backdrop of the Sierra Madre mountains. (cntraveler.com)
- Traverse City may be known as the Cherry Capital of the World (fun fact: 74 percent of the country's tart cherries are grown in and around Traverse City), but when the snow falls, the popular summer spot turns into a winter wonderland. (oprahdaily.com)
