Since so many of you are from all over the world, I'd thought I'd post here. I live in N.E. Tex, my children have only seen snow a few times and here it's wet, nasty and gone in a couple of hours. I'd like a place where the snow is nice, dry, and fluffy, doesn't have to be a ski resort, we don't want to ski, just would like to find a cabin or motel at a good price, would like to maybe have a place to rent a snowmobile and to play. The 1st places that come to my mind in New Mexico or Colorada but I know it snows in Ok, and Ark also.

Minnesota gets lots of snow and it lasts a long, long, long time LOL.

Carol in TX--Its snowing in Minnesota right now. Should have a good 8 to 10" by tonight. No need to rush to get up here because it should still be here until the first part of April. Trisha, you made me laugh. Thanks. And Carol--When you come and visit, bring some of the Texas heat because when this snow ends, a cold front always arrives with some bone chilling temps. At least you can go back to Texas.

Carol...Maine might be a bit far for you to visit, but we do have snow in the western areas of our state. I know some of the ski resorts are up and running! Snowmobiling is a big "thing" up here also. As for my area...no snow yet. It's been quite warm (50's)!!

Carol, In my neck of the woods we get 20+' of snow! I run a groomer 2 or 3 days a week on the trails. I put on about 2000 miles a year on my sled....So yes I can steer you to lodging & rentals etc.

Ok so I'm a few miles from E.Tx.....but all you talked about is here! email for more info....

I've seen snow. It's cold and it's wet. Threw a snowball at someone - it made their nose bleed. I've seen skiing on the teb - tele - idiot box. It made my bad back cringe. I really don't want a closer acquaintance.

However, if you have a bit of money, Australia has snowfields bigger than Switzerland; and New Zealand (a smaller country) has even more; and they're both available during the long summer (for you) vacation. And I'll tell you - you'd REALLY benefit from exchange rate variations - hurts us (unless you come and spend your money here); but would really benefit you.
