Timberline Lodge, Mt Hood

The Timberline Lodge is one of the great American lodges of yesteryear, dedicated by Franklin D Roosevelt in 1937.

Resort at Squaw Creek, Lake Tahoe

Sitting at the base of Squaw Valley in California’s North Lake Tahoe, the Resort at Squaw Creek caters to winter sports enthusiasts with ski-in/ski-out access, but you may not want to leave once you see the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Sierra Nevada Mountains. During the winter months, the resort offers extra perks like dog sledding tours, ice skating and sledding.

The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

It doesn’t get more winter wonderland-like than the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise.

When you’re not sipping hot chocolate while enjoying views of the frosted mountains, sign up for a ski lesson with the Fairmont Snow School.

Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite

Tenaya’s tagline is “It’s like roughing it minus the rough part,” and it couldn’t be more true. Located near the south entrance to Yosemite National Park, the lodge offers pet-friendly cottages and rooms set within the stunning mountain scenery of Sierra National Forest. When you’re not warming up by the fireplace, head outdoors for some on-site sledding and ice skating, or hit the nearby trails for some skiing, boarding or snowshoeing.

The Whiteface Lodge, Lake Placid

Timber milled onsite and authentic Adirondack furnishings lend a sense of authenticity to Lake Placid’s Whiteface Lodge.
