The U.S. travel guide highlights 13 winter getaway options designed for different preferences, from snowy escapes to warmer desert climates. It points to ski areas with about 465 inches of snowfall annually, naming Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and Snow King Mountain, plus activities like snow tubing, snowshoeing, ice skating, sleigh rides and backcountry skiing. Yellowstone can be reached by Snowcoach tours for access to Old Faithful, mud pots and wildlife, with guided snowmobile tours also available in Yellowstone and near Grand Teton National Park. The list also includes St. Louis, with the Saint Louis Art Museum and views from the Gateway Arch, and several warm-enough-without-snow destinations such as St. George, Louisville, and a desert city two hours east of Los Angeles.
