I’m officially ready to trade in SALTY roads for a view snow capped mountains…

preferably from a distance- like in Palm Springs. 

Nothing is officially booked but I’m mentally almost all in to just buy a place ticket and let the rest figure itself out. Whose done that before? It would be a first for me… being crazy type A with planning.

I have plenty of location ideas though, thanks to all of you. 🙂

Here’s the list I’ve been talking about sharing- the US winter getaway ideas you all recommended:

Ruidoso, NV

Asheville, NC

Lake Tahoe, CA

Vail, CO

Gatlinburg, TN 

Aspen, CO

Avon CO

The Poconos, PA

Jackson Hole, WY

Steamboat Springs, CO

Park City, UT

Colorado is clearly trending- which I was going to explore more this past summer but didn’t happen. #thankscovid

I wouldn’t be salty about booking a Breckenridge re-do, while devouring down these deliciously healthy, raw and vegan friendly brownies. 🌱
