5) Sun Valley, Idaho
Known as the "Beverly Hills of the Rockies", Sun Valley is a very amazing and spectatular ski resort located in Idaho. There are lots of activities that can be done here. The Sun Valley Nordic & Snowshoe Center is located at the 58,000 square-foot Sun Valley Club in the backyard of the world famous Sun Valley Lodge.

With over 40km of trails groomed daily for skate and classic skiing, the Sun Valley Nordic & Snowshoe Center provides the ultimate experience.

Top off your day of skiing or snowshoeing with a delicious lunch or hot beverage served daily at the Sun Valley Club.
A sleigh ride to Trail Creek Cabin for dinner has traditionally been one of the most memorable and fun Sun Valley winter experiences for the whole family. Round trip scenic rides are available Tuesday through Saturday and nightly during the Christmas holidays and President's Week. Private bookings are also available.
For dinner at Trail Creek Cabin, horse-drawn sleighs leave the Sun Valley Inn at 6pm, 7pm and 8pm for a family style dinner Tuesday through Saturday. The ride lasts about 1/2 hour. Dress should be warm and blankets are provided. Because of the wild popularity of the sleigh rides to dinner at Trail Creek Cabin, reservations are required.
Dollar Mountain is the home of Sun Valley Resort's new Snow Tubing Park. Rubber meets the snow in three 600-ft. lanes. The Park is located by the Half-Dollar Lift and is serviced by a new 400-ft surface lift. New customized tubes are used for rides offering nearly 100 ft. of vertical. A fun on-snow activity for the entire family, The Tubing Park is just steps from Carol's Dollar Mountain Lodge so hot chocolate is nearby. The Lodge also provides an excellent buffet, the Sun Valley Snowsports Children's Center and Pete Lane's Mountain Sports.

3) St. Barths
For years, St. Barths has been the playground of the rich and famous in the Caribbean. This slice of paradise offers a lot for the traveler to do.
There are fourteen beaches on St. Barths, all blessed with gleaming white sand. Few are crowded, even in peak season. All are public and free. Nudism is ostensibly prohibited and topless is not unusual.
Several hotels are equipped with fitness clubs and air-conditioned rooms complete with sophisticated equipment. Some accept outsiders, others limit the use of these facilities to guests.
Three independant fitness clubs, Form Fitness on the road to Lurin coming from Gustavia, St Barth Gym in Cul de Sac and Atmosphere, already well-attended by a local clientele, welcomes visitors. Gymnastics also leads to bodybuilding for a minority of big muscle fans.
The popularity of Spas and massages is consistant with the notion that St Barths is a place where people come to relax. Hotel Spas do welcome outsiders.
For those in search of an active and glittering night life, the choices in St Barths are few.
There is no real movie house, but on many Saturday nights, local folk assemble at the A.J.O.E. tennis court in Lorient to watch a recent movie, usually dubbed in French, that is projected on a huge painted concrete wall. Serve yourself chairs, and a stand for popcorn, hot dogs and cold drinks. Some restaurants have an independent cocktail bar. They have a lively ambiance and sometimes propose live entertainment till midnight or 1 AM during the high season. Bête à Z'Ailes, La Plage, "Nikki Beach" and le Ti St Barth are among these.
The "Yacht Club" with its "Live Screen Concerts" on Gustavia Harbor (filled with lots of celebrity yachts), and "Casa Nikki" also in Gustavia, as well as "Le Feeling", in Lurin, provide mind altering drinks, ear-shattering disco music, a dance floor, and a chance to catch someone's eye across a crowded room. During the music and film festivals, there is somewhere interesting to go every night, and, now and then, the sky overhead explodes in celebration of some public or private event.
2) Aspen Mountain Club (Aspen, Colorado)
When you think of ski resorts in the United States, the word "Aspen" is almost synonymous. The epitome of Aspen happens to be the Aspen Mountain Club. Every A-list worth their weight will want to be on the list for lifetime membership (which is $125,000 with $4,000 annual dues). Even though this may seem out of reach to most people, the resort offers many fringe benefits.
Guests reach the Club via a spectacular three-mile journey on the gondola from The Little Nell. Once they arrive, they’ll open the Aspen Mountain Club’s hand-hewn iron door and step into a luxurious space that is as majestic as the Rocky Mountain wilderness surrounding it. Renowned New York designer David Anthony Easton has appointed the club with a trove of elegant Alpine detail: pine wood paneling, warm stone fireplaces, antique Austrian tables and hand-woven needlepoint rugs.
The Aspen Mountain Club is a unique location for daytime and evening private functions during the summer and evening affairs in the winter. Just outside, you’ll find the Wedding Deck, the most incredible wedding ceremony site in Colorado with views of the far reaching Elk Mountain Range.
The Little Nell operates and staffs this magnificent mountaintop facility, and its 7,000 square feet includes a full bar, a spacious living room, two large fireplaces, and a dining room that can seat up to 125 seated guests or 200 for a festive reception. Each event concludes with guests savoring their experience with a 12-minute gondola ride down into the warm lights of downtown Aspen.
