Time to go outside and play in the snow. Even if you're a grown-up!
Outside magazine's January issue lists lodges for winter adventures around the country. They include:
-Flagstaff Lake Hut in Maine's Carrabassett Valley, with a frozen lake, miles of ski trails and a lodge that the magazine says is more like a "swanky retreat than a backwoods shack."
-Norway Basin Camp, in Oregon's Wallowa Mountains, which offers backcountry skiing, no crowds, a new double-decker yurt and good food.
-Nita Lake Lodge in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, with lake and mountain views, easily accessible by the three-hour Whistler Mountaineer train from Vancouver.
-Lumiere in Telluride, Colo., a new luxury hotel at 9,500 feet that offers ski valets to "carry your gear off the slopes at the end of the day for overnight tuning."
-Sportsman's Lodge on Minnesota's Lake of the Woods, where you can go ice-fishing for walleye.
