Many american resorts are aiming to cater for the traditionally non-ski times of year with a range of new and exciting activities such as dogsledding, snowshoeing.

Activities such as kayaking are also highly popular with holidaymakers at holiday locations such as Lake Tahoe, voted number one ski destination by Orbitz in 2007/2008.

Holidaymakers are advised to research their winter holiday destination for non-ski events and activities that will add to their vacation experience.

Non-ski activities also provide travellers with the opportunity to get to know the culture and delights of the area around their chosen destination.
