If you find yourself counting down the days until winter brings its first layer of powdery snow, then Park City is the place for you. With a ski season that starts slightly earlier than average, top-rated slopes like Deer Valley and Park City Mountain — the largest ski resort in the U.S. — welcome skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels. If hitting the slopes isn’t your thing, however, there are plenty of other winter adventures. Fly downhill head first at a snow-tubing park, rent a fat tire bike to explore the city’s snow-covered trails, get in a workout with cross-country skiing or go dog-sledding. For a real adrenaline rush, head to Utah Olympic Park for a professional bobsledding experience on the Olympic Winter Games sliding track.

Savvy family travelers know that winter is one of the best times to visit Orlando, when the summer crowds and heat have died down, leaving perfect conditions to explore the theme parks. As an official Walt Disney World® Hotel, Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek is a comfortable and convenient place to stay, offering complimentary shuttles to the theme park and other exclusive benefits. It’s also the ultimate family hangout complete with a championship golf course, a luxury spa, multiple pools and a lazy river that will be a hit with the kids. Of course, Orlando’s wintertime fun goes beyond rollercoasters and character meet-and-greets. Head slightly outside of the city for a unique Florida winter experience — swimming with manatees in a natural spring.

There’s no better place to go for a relaxing solo vacation than the friendly, easy-to-navigate city of Vancouver. Book your stay at Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Vancouver-Downtown, and you’ll find yourself at the heart of all the action. Start with a short tugboat ride to Granville Island. You can spend the day leisurely strolling around this artsy neighborhood, popping into funky boutique shops and craft breweries or catching a live theater performance. Vancouver winters are mild compared to the rest of Canada so don’t be afraid to clear your mind with a long waterfront walk along Stanley Park. Then warm up with a trip to the spa, visits to world-class museums — or anything you want. It’s a solo trip, after all.
