Fall is officially coming to a close and the holiday season is in full swing, bringing with it thoughts of cheer, hopes for a White Christmas and plans to spend quality time with loved ones.
Some revelers, however, may be looking to get away for a restful winter vacation that still offers plenty of local shops to visit, exciting scenery to explore and fun cold-weather attractions to experience, from ski resorts with twisting slopes to cabins nestled along a snow-capped mountain.
According to a list compiled by Reader's Digest, the "best winter destination" in all of Colorado is Keystone Resort. This popular spot was praised for its winter activities fun for the entire family, especially in a state full of "snowy paradises."
Here's what Reader's Digest had to say about the best winter destination in the entire state:
"Pretty much everywhere in Colorado is a snowy paradise — the state was practically made for the winter season. One of the best spot for families is Keystone Resort. It hosts an annual Kidtopia, billed as 'ultimate playground for family fun and adventure.' Families can explore a life-size snow fort, indulge in afternoon cookies and hot chocolate, and chill at the Kidtopia headquarters with crafts and games. Kiptopia Festivals throughout the winter, including a culinary celebration in February and a music experience in March. For lodging, check out the newly renovated Ski Tip Lodge. The historic bed and breakfast dates back to the 1860s when it was an original stagecoach stop."
