Hello Lewis, I live in Arizona, and we have a ski resort in Flagstaff . If you ever want to check out an Awesome college party town, that is the place to visit. It's home of N.A.U. aka Northern Arizona University.

If you want to go skiing and not break a leg, you can go on what we call, the bunny trails .. they are for the beginners.😁

Keep in mind, northern New Mexico borders southern Colorado. There are also Ice Caves in New Mexico that stay frozen year round and are delightful when the temperatures are 110°F (43°C!). Breckenridge, CO “Breck” is my favorite any time of the year and is an idyllic little town. You called it a “Christmasy” town, and they do have lovely Christmas decoration shops open year round.

[@samo980]

Absolutely love living near Breck especially during the holidays! So many things to do ♥️♥️♥️

[@RandallButler-xt4oe]

Well said

[@JuarezDerrick]

I live in Texas and can't imagine anywhere in New Mexico to have anything frozen year-round 😂😂😂 that is awesome

[@dawnsutton2231]

@@JuarezDerrick 😂 I thought the same thing the first time I went back as an adult. (Used to go through to AZ as a kid to visit family, White Sands, etc.). It was in August when I saw the billboard for it along the highway and caught: ICE CAVE and Bandera Volcano, Grants, NM, Take Exit (?). I HATE the heat and immediately pulled over to find out about it since it sounded mental in that heat. Sooooo worth the extra drive past my turn to CO for the experience!! If you haven’t been, check out Chain of Craters too (But have a good vehicle for off-roading if you go in CoC, there’s even warning signs they will not rescue you if you choose to enter & get stuck 😳. My BMW sport handled it like a champ and even helped a 4x4 truck out that was stuck lmaooo). It’s freaky and AMAZING. As we pulled in with morning temperatures already in the 90s °F (33s °C), we noticed what looked like dew on the bluish grass. I got out and put my hand on the ground. It was completely frozen! It was over 110°F (43°C) by the time we got to the ice cave part and my sister practically had to drag me out!

[@victoriav2145]

I live right by Breck and I have to say people think it's SO cold up in the mountains... but no! We're 8,000ft closer to the sun! Coming from the Great Lakes region..being on the Great Lakes IS COLD!

[@ChrisGeorge4]

Great video! I love your reactions. I disagree with this list, and I may be biased because I live in Colorado, but here we go. First off, the videos for Breckenridge & Aspen both had shots of both mixed into both videos. They also mixed in shots of Vail around Christmas, which is also gorgeous, but the AI editor of the video definitely made some mistakes. I lived in Aspen for many years, and I would ski over 100 days a year along with many other locals. Aspen is magical during the holidays, and the skiing at the 4 resorts is amazing. I could go on and on. I lived in a lot of resort towns around Colorado and have visited a lot of other places on this list, Park City, Jackson, Sun Valley, etc... I strongly disagree with that tiny resort in NH as number 1. That is 1000% false! I'll leave it at that. Lastly, since you love Christmas so much, search Leavenworth, Washington Christmas on KZbin. Your mind will be blown. I think you could make a whole video just on that town. There isn't skiing right in town, but there's plenty of skiing in the area. If you have any questions, I'm happy to help. Cheers!

NYC isn’t a ski place but NYC during December is magical with snow, cold, Christmas decorations that are huge like the buildings, and the stores, shops, outdoor shops, it’s just fabulous and definitely a place to visit at least once during December-you’ll definitely get into the Christmas spirit while there!

WOW! But you get hurricanes. No thanks.

No snow skiing there I bet

[@Brenda-f9y]

Just like Arizona, California, Texas and New Mexico all have areas that get cold where it snows. Believe it or not the Arizona valley including Phoenix can get cold but not cold enough that it snows and it sticks to the ground except for Scottsdale.

[@AlbertScoot]

I can remember less than a handful of times it's snowed in West Phoenix. Though one year got softball sized hail.

Breckenridge is where you and Izzy will get to stay! That’s where my family has their vacation home! (sorry for missing the streams btw I’ve been super busy)

[@jeffreyheberlein4721]

Lew I love you man! { I'm sure you know this because i comment to most every video you do} I was skiing in Breckenridge one day when the wind chill was -34f. When you live in Colorado and have been many places you know to dress for the worst possible conditions. Not to mention it is physically demanding and the biggest factor is when you are skiing you will start to sweet. As soon you stop when it's this cold is you can quickly become hypothermic if your garments are wet. Skiing this kind of terrain is no joke. I was once caught in a tree well and thought I was going to die when someone came along and helped me out of it. No doubt one of the best things you can ever experience, and at the same time, so many things can go wrong! People hit frozen trees and die instantly if they hit they're heads, tree wells and accidentally skiing out of bounds where there are no lifts and nobody knows where you are. I've only seen the first few, but imagine Colorado will be mentioned 3 or 4 times because of Steamboat Springs, Vail, Aspen, A basin and the list goes on.

I remember in middle school during the winter recess we would take a trip to the mountains and stay in the cabins.. We did skiing, tubing, horse riding , a winters ball and ice skating.. I cant even remember where it was, but it had to be either NJ, Pennsylvania or Upstate NY since I lived in NYC.. The school bus would leave late in the evening and we would sneak our little liquor bottles in Pringles containers to sip on for the ride lol..

[@memawh57]

I live in what they call the High Desert in southern california, and right now the weather is clear and sunny with 32 degrees at night and 70 degrees for the daytime. Mind you summer is 110 degrees day time and low 90's at night. So seasons do make the weather forecast around here. Mind you spring is the best time around here when it is about 80 degrees day time and 70 degrees night time, spring is not to hot and not to cold. But spring flash floods can be common and with the flash flood comes rattlesnake warnings for them floating in the flooding water.

Plus mud slides in the mountains. At least you get 4 seasons. I live next door. We have HOT & cold. We might get a week or 2 of spring and/or fall. No in between 😢

Very nice video! I'm born and raised in the US and had only heard of a few of those places, so thanks also for the info. As far as skiing, I've done that on and off as a kid and started snowboarding as a teenager. The only thing they have in common is that you can do them on the same slope. ;) These places all look nice, although there's a lot of places in the UK I'd also like to check out. Out here I think Dollywood and Aspen are the 2 I'd recommend the most. Hope you get the chance to check them out!

[@floco1438]

NM resident, here. We do get snow here, but how much really depends on where in the state you live. We're at a pretty high elevation which plays a part in the well-powdered mountain resort 😊

I've been skiing once. We went to Taos, New Mexico. We didn't have money for a resort, but we had a clean room in a local hotel. I had never skied, so I stayed on the bunny slope.

[@margaretsy1855]

I grew up in Vermont during the late 60's into 70's. Oh yes indeed I skied! I was on the Middlebury Vermont ski team and we sked at Snowball Mountain outside Ripton, VT. We took our skiing seriously. Middlebury VT is a great town with a very famous college and everything you think a small town in New England should be.

The top four states by average elevation are: Colorado: ~6,800 feet, Wyoming: ~6,700 feet, Utah: ~6,100 feet, New Mexico: ~5,700 feet.

In the winter of southern California there are many days when it snows in the local mountains (near Lake Arrowhead , Mt. Baldy, and Big Bear Lake which are about an hour drive away from downtown L.A.) and yet , warm enough in the city to go to the beach. You can literally go skiing and surfing in the same day. I did just that almost every winter of my childhood

I'm sorry you're cold. It's 27C (81F) here in Houston, Tx. It's usually humid here but not today. The sun is out and the sky is a beautiful blue. I grew up in Ohio so I know cold and snow. I much prefer a Texas winter to one up north. We don't see snow very often and if it does snow it lasts long enough to get a picture. Living on the Gulf Coast has its benefits during the winter but beware of the summer! We are lucky to live here. But you can go skiing there, too. I would have to travel quite a bit to find a winter ski resort. It would be like someone from the U.K. going to a chalet in the Alps. That is something I would like to see.

[@IreneStrong-s1x]

I’ve visited and stayed at several of these resort areas in the summer. If you don’t ski there is less to do in the winter than in the other seasons and if you fly in the winter, you take a chance of getting snowed in or snowed out. The Rocky Mountains are stunning when snow topped but always a sight worth seeing any time of the year. Start saving or take up some offers to stay as the costs to travel add up quickly.

For a beginner I recommend Colorado or Utah. Only because of the powdered snow. That makes it easier to learn skiing. I’m a polar bear, but I get cold especially on a chair lift. So layer up. Wear reflective goggles or sunglasses because it’s BRIGHT. Definitely spa for a beginner. After a lesson you feel it, like the day after gardening the first time.

Hello from Memphis Tennessee. I've traveled thru all the 50 states and they can be entirely different from season to season. Been skiing since the 70s

0:01 I know, right? It got down to 83° F here in Austin! Oh Lew, snow comes from the sky.

We have a ski resort in Las Vegas, Nevada up in the mountains (Mt. Charleston). You're in the desert, but 40 minutes drive and you are in a mountain forest with snowfall and snowskiing.

New sub ie here. Please remember that elevation (how tall the mountains are), (( actually the chain of volcanos through the Rockies are)). The highest mountains get the best snow and are known for their ski resorts.

I used to live in Colorado. So I've been to most of the major ski resorts. I do prefer Breckenridge over Aspen. Almost .oved to Jackson Hole but then you had to go hours away and into another state to go grocery shopping. During the week my son and I would go up into RMNP about 5 times each week. We did have fun!
