Take A Trip To A Real Winter Wonderland #ImagineWyoming #RoamFree

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Wyoming Office of Tourism. All opinions are 100% mine.

During the winter, I love all things winter, and that includes the cold weather and snow. I love snow sports and activities, I love building snowmen, I love crackling fires and hot chocolate. When we travel during the winter, I prefer to go someplace that sustains the essence of a typical white New York winter (I won’t go to the Bahamas in December for example- it seems malapropos to me). I was chatting with my husband about places we’d love to take the boys, and I mentioned Wyoming, home of Yellowstone National Park and some of the best snowboarding action around, and he loved the idea as much as I did.

Do you also love winter wonderlands where the landscape looks like it’s been covered by a blanket of snow, and everything looks pristine, otherwordly, peaceful, intimate? Travis Rice, the best big mountain snowboarder in the world, is from Wyoming, and he loves his hometown. It’s so beautiful and magical there in the winter, I totally understand why! I would love to try snowboarding with my sons on some pure white hills, or skiing on a sunny day, and even snowmobiling through a wondrous American National Park that is on my bucket list- I always wanted to go to Yellowstone National Park! It would be such a blast! Wyoming is the perfect winter travel destination for those of want to getaway from our busy lives, but still appreciate the magic of a snow-filled winter.

  • Wyoming is one state I have dreamed of going. I have family there that I’ve never met and on top of that I love the mountains and snow!

  • When I was growing up, there was a huge hill in our town that the kids and I would sled up and down a hundred times a day. I have no favorite thing to do in the winter in our area now.

  • Oh, now that is somewhere I would LOVE to visit during the wintertime! We love to go to a cabin out in the snowy woods! Can’t wait to go again this year!! Love wintertime!

  • I’m not a skier at all but I’ve always wanted to go to Wyoming. Never been out that way at all. In fact, except for California and Las Vegas, I haven’t hit too many places west of the Mississippi. Yellowstone National Park is on our Vacation Bucket List for sure though!

  • Wow, the views are absolutely stunning. It doesn’t snow much here, so there’s something even more mystical about a winter wonderland for us. I would love to see it in person one day.

  • Oh I never knew Wyoming was so beautiful! I want to go boarding there.

  • I’d love to head out there and ski. I haven’t been skiing since I was a kid, but I want to try it again!

  • I’m not a snow lover or a cold weather fan but the scenery sure is beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

  • I’d love to go to Jackson Hole! My future sister-in-law is from there and she has so many wonderful things to say about it (that’s where they got engaged). As far as my favorite outdoor winter activities – that would be skiing, although I haven’t skied in a very long time, it was a blast and hopefully we’ll go soon.

  • I would love to visit Wyoming! We don’t get ‘typical’ winter weather in South Texas so visiting Wyoming during the winter months would be SO much fun!

  • I’m sure Wyoming is gorgeous in winter, with the mountains and snow. A snowboarders dream. I don’t snowboard,but it’s still definitely some place I would love to visit.

  • I love Wyoming. I grew up along the Wyoming Idaho Border so I spent time there. Love Jackson Hole! Great skiing.

    I am not a huge fan of cold, but it sure is pretty enough to make me reconsider!

  • I always say I do not want to travel abroad because I havent seen everything that OUR OWN country has yet – and this is just one example of that. Absolutely gorgeous. I have water skied, but never been in a place where there was enough enough snow TO ski – much less a hill to go down. I certainly WANT to some day though!

  • I’m not particularly “good” or “safe” when it comes to winter sports, but I can sit in a chalet like no one’s business! That place looks amazing!

  • I hardly go anywhere in the winter. However, I do enjoy the scenery, though. 🙂
