The weather outside might be frightful, but it can also be loads of fun. Rather than staying bundled up by the fire, why not hit the slopes and enjoy some fresh powder. There's nothing more exhilarating than making new tracks on recently fallen snow. Or if you're not a skier, then how about building a snowman or making snow angels. The snow is not just for extreme athletes, anyone can enjoy the white winterland the mountains have to offer.

To find a ski resort near you, get an update on the latest weather conditions and find a place to stay for a weekend in the snow, the Web is a great resource.

Whether you're into downhill skiing, cross-country skiing or snowboarding, there are a few good Web sites that will help you plan the perfect snowy vacation.

Check out the Great Outdoor Recreation Pages Ski and Snow Home at "http://www.gorp.com/gorp/activity/skiing...".

This site has a ski guide with articles about places to ski, a very, very extensive list of links to other sites that are of interest to skiers/snowboarders, a list of ski clubs, and a list of winter sports events. There's a gear section that provides tips on how to use some winter sports gear as well as advice on skills and technique.

You even can also book a winter get-away on this site, which can include lift tickets, lodging, and transportation. This site offers a wide range of information about winter resorts worldwide.

Another good site to check out is "http://www.onthesnow.com". On this site you can get the latest ski report to find out how much snow is at the resort you're interested in going to, you can also get general weather reports for certain areas so that you can plan on dressing for sun or snow, and they have ski cams so that you can get a sneak peek at what you're in for.

A site worth taking a look at is "http://skicentral.com". This site has the usual information, but check out their gear selection. They have links to lots of skiing and snowboarding manufacturers in case you need to purchase some new equipment.

This is just the beginning. There are lots of Web sites that can help you find the perfect winter destination. You can try checking on search engines like http://www.google.com or http://www.search.com for ski resorts in your area. You can also check out the national weather service http://www.nws.noaa.gov to find out about the latest weather conditions. So stay warm, and have fun on the slopes.
