The Best Winter Vacations in Wyoming
- Wintering at Old Faithful (WY): The chilly season in Yellowstone is increasingly popular, and it's bound to be even more so now that the Old Faithful Snow Lodge (tel. 866/439-7375; www.travelyellowstone.com) has been transformed into a handsome, comfortable facility. You can take a snowcoach into the park, or cross-country ski or snowshoe to the Lonestar Geyser and other attractions.
- Skiing at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (WY; tel. 888/333-7766; www.jacksonhole.com): Jackson Hole offers a vertical drop that will take your breath away. There are a variety of ways to get to the bottom, from double black diamonds to intermediate slopes. Skiers who like a challenge should come here and mix the visit with some ballooning, tours of the elk refuge, and other adventures.
