Winter Vacations - North, to Canada and Alaska


  • Alaska: dogsledding- winter vacations don't get much more authentic than this: you even get the northern lights.
  • Snow Vacations in Canada - it's a huge country, and there's winter snow in most of it! Whistler BC and Mont Tremblant Quebec are only two of many choices
  • Ice Hotels- Lapland, Sweden; Quebec, Canada; and Alaska. See many pix of Quebec's Ice Hotel (but don't forget: each ice hotel gets completely rebuilt every year.)
  • Quebec City Carnival - ice palace, snow sculptures, music, and a chance to explore this charming city. Approx. the first two weeks in February.
