31 Ski Resorts to Inspire Your Winter Travel Plans ...

By Eliza

Even if you prefer warmer climates, you might change your mind once you see the beauty of ski resorts around the world. I typically imagine my vacation on a sunny beach, book in one hand, margarita in the other, but I've spent some time in various ski resorts and they have a draw that makes me want to go back again and again. If you need a break this winter, consider heading to somewhere snowy and cold for a few days of skiing, snowboarding and soaking in the hot tub. Check out these ski resorts and I'm sure you'll have all the reasons you need to book a trip right now.
