Lake Tahoe * a personal fave*
Most of the skiing is located on the North Shore ~ known for more than their skiing, they have sledding, snowmobile, ice skating and so much more! The winter sports and activities seem to be unlimited. Tahoe is also known for their luxury. World-class spas, that’s something you girls definitely want to dive right in to! North Lake Tahoe has a more divine and upscale nightlife compared to South Lake Tahoe, easily accessible while staying here. Split up your nights (dress up one night and down the next!) South Lake Tahoe also has gambling, (your basically in Vegas). Maybe a poker night in your future*
Aspen, Colorado known as *Apres-ski, an always happening destination
Hit the Slopes in total glam! World class skiing, celeb sightings (your bachelorette group, of course) and all the late night partying on the mountain side! The new W Hotel’s WET deck gives you an amazing 360 degree view of Aspen! After the slopes be sure to check out Little Nell’s Chair Nine for DJ, drinks, and a whole lot of dancing!
Park City, Utah *another personal fave*
Top ranked Park City Skiing at the Park City Mountain Resort. Bundle up and hit the slopes out here in Park City. Not into skiing - totally fine! Rent snowmobiles for the day and have a guided tour, enjoying wildlife and the beautiful backdrop scenery! Dog sledding is something you don’t do everyday. Be adventurous and check out the beautiful winter wonderland via the dogs! Seeking more THRILL - check out the Winter Bobsled Experience down the 2020 Olympic track!
Don’t forget to shop & dine in Historic Park City {shops}
Leavenworth, Washington
Bavarian Icefest
Jan 18-19 2020
Icy games, like a snowmobile sled pull, and plenty of Bavarian treats, plus twinkly town lights and stunning European-inspired architecture. The village is still dressed in over half a million twinkling lights and this weekend is a flurry of frosty frivolity. Come celebrate winter with us!

The big sight to see is in October in Albuquerque, definitely a good pit stop where you wont want to miss the International Balloon Fiesta. Over 500 hot air balloons brightening up the beautiful desert sky
Santa Barbara, California
An industrial area turned into wineries, breweries, boutiques and restaurants, called the Funk Zone. Potek Winery has a multi use space including a florist, BBQ joint and outdoor area, also worth checking out.

Wander three mansions, the The Breakers, The Elms and Marble House, dripping in 25 enchanting Christmas trees, a floor-to-ceiling poinsettia tree, hundreds of fresh flowers, evergreens and elaborate ornaments.
