RVers Head for Snow-Covered Slopes for Winter Fun

Not all RVers are snowbirds who head south when the first flakes start to fall. Some RV aficionados actually head into the storm when winter arrives. They are the RV families that love the thrill of skiing and snowboarding at breath-taking speeds down snow-covered mountains. When winter weather arrives, these hearty folks load up their RVs in search of fresh powder on snow-covered slopes. Right now that’s not hard to find.

With winter storms ravaging much of the country, snow is in abundance. You don’t have to trek to the Rockies to find decent skiing in the U.S. right now. From coast to coast, U.S. ski areas have good snow cover and are seeing one of their best winters in years. Even relatively flat states like Ohio and Illinois offer fun and a bit of challenge for skiers and boarders. Cross country skiers and snowshoers can find interesting terrain to explore in any part of the country, as can snowmobilers. And you’ll find great toboggan and tubing runs everywhere.

Finding an open RV campground can be a little more challenging in some areas, but even in the Rockies some campgrounds stay open year-round to accommodate winter sports enthusiasts. Of course, the RV lifestyle allows you to be self-sufficient at least for weekend trips into the snow-bound wilderness. Just make sure to exercise common sense, follow safety rules and always let someone back home know your plans. When you RV, nothing holds you back; so get out there and spray a little powder!
