Got the winter time blues? Why not take a private jet to your next adventure?
While many travelers are drawn to sun and sand during the long, dark, winter months, welcoming the season’s stark majesty can make for a cozy & adventuresome escape. A cold-weather trip to the mountains of the North American West can showcase special towns that are the perfect spots to ski, shop, explore, or simply indulge in après ski action. Here we offer a quick look at some of our favorite frosty "hot spots".
Nestled in a valley between the Gros Ventre and Teton mountain ranges, Jackson Hole is located in far northwest Wyoming, adjacent to the border with Idaho in a area about 42 miles long and 8 miles wide. Jackson, the most populous town is steeped in authentic, spirited, and distinctive Western-mountain character. Jackson Hole is a popular destination for adventure-seekers in all seasons.
Aspen lives up to its winter reputation. Four ski mountains make up the terrain for the world-renowned Aspen Snowmass resort, and Aspen’s beautiful scenery and open space also lends itself well to other types of winter recreation as well. After a hard day of play, enjoy Aspen’s legendary après ski scene, or head out for dinner at one of the many world-class restaurants. Top off the night by enjoying a show at Aspen’s 500-person live music venue featuring famous artists. Aspen’s big-city cultural institutions, well known for their summer programming, have plenty of events throughout the winter months, too.

Whatever your winter travel preferences, start here as we share a few of our favorite destinations.
