Greetings, Travelers! Are you the type who relishes frigid temperatures and is never fazed by the wind chill factor? Then these cool travel ideas will appeal to you. If you're ready to chill out, we'll help you plan an unforgettable winter adventure. ~Kim

Pack Your Parka... and Your Swimsuit!
As one of New England's most popular ski resorts, Vermont's Jay Peak knows a thing or two about slippery slopes. Now, visitors can slip and slide on the inside, too. The resort recently opened a 50,000-square-foot indoor water park that includes the world's first indoor AquaLoop: a near-vertical topsy-turvy water slide.

Stroll Old Montreal at Night
Cap off a romantic visit to Montreal, Canada, with an evening stroll through the old city, where lights illuminate stately architecture, churches large and small, cobblestone streets and tempting eateries. These photos will give you a sense of the magical scenes that await.

Take Your Family to Lake Tahoe
Located on the California/Nevada border, Lake Tahoe is an ideal winter destination for families. Skiers will find world-class conditions at seven mountain resorts, and family members who aren't interested in hitting the slopes can enjoy a full range of activities, too, from scenic gondola rides to spa treatments to casino gambling.

Italy's a Bargain When It Snows
If you don't mind the cold, skip the crowds and enjoy Italy during the winter. You'll find fewer tourists and more bargains, plus glorious peaks to ski and carnival festivities throughout the country.
