Travel Features Highlight Skiing and Snow Tubing

A collection of travel features explores mountain getaways beyond major resorts, noting that smaller ski areas can offer comfortable stays at lower prices and that travelers should consider snow conditions, terrain and ability. British Columbia’s family-friendly Silver Star has 133 runs, ski-in/ski-out lodging, a compact car-free village and short lift lines as an alternative to Whistler. Snow tubing offers another accessible winter activity, with parks and resorts including Angel Fire, Bogus Basin and Colorado Adventure Park providing groomed lanes, lifts and family amenities. Iceland’s remote Highland Base Kerlingarfjöll offers campsites, private lodges, geothermal baths and guided outdoor activities. In Keystone, Colorado, the new ski-in/ski-out Kindred Resort offers child-focused programming, ski services and slopeside recreation, with direct access to the River Run Gondola.
