With a new year on the horizon, why not make plans to make it the “Best” year ever? We’ve compiled a list of some of the “best of the best.” So, if you’re looking for the best place to get away for a specific activity, read on for “the best place to…”
Ski: Consistent top list makers for the best skiing in the US include Lake Tahoe (stay at Tahoe Valley Campground and tackle the slopes at Heavenly Mountain or Incline Village); the Mt. Hood Skibowl (stay at Mt. Hood Village Resort) or Stevens Pass in Washington (stay at Thousand Trails Leavenworth.)
Snorkel: In the Florida Keys, Dry Tortugas National Park, Looie Key (for the fabulous reefs) or Key Largo (dive to see the colorful reefs at Pennekamp State Park (stay at Encore Sunshine Key or Fiesta Key) are top snorkeling places. In California, plan to snorkel in La Jolla (stay at nearby Thousand Trails Pio Pico) to see sea caves, sea lions and seals.
Tour Wineries: California choices include the wine country of Sonoma (stay at Thousand Trails Russian River) or Paso Robles (stay at Pacific Dunes Ranch.)

Brimfield, Massachusetts is known for the three antiques’ markets they host annually (stay at Thousand Trails Sturbridge) as is Round Top, Texas (stay at Thousand Trails Colorado River) which hosts an antiques fair twice each year.
