Skiing and snowboarding at a resort provides freedom and escape. You can turn and glide to your heart’s content, free from obligations and stress. During a powder day, the cushioned sensation is like nothing else, letting you flow and float over everything in your path. It’s just you and the mountain.

But sometimes you want more. Even at a big mountain, you have limited terrain options, and fresh snow can get tracked out fast. What if you had abundant mountains to explore, untouched powder fields waiting, and a helicopter at your disposal?

Camper van vs Class B RV: How to choose which to buy for your outdoor adventures
Class B RV vs Camper Van - who ya got?
Man building a campfire in front of a Winnebago Ekko Springer camper van.

If you would love to go on road trips and experience the best national parks, there is no better way to do it and still feel comfortable like you’re at home than camping in an RV. Let’s be honest: You will enjoy sleeping on a cozy bed in an RV with an air conditioner more than in a moist and chilly tent. It’s also easier to prepare your meals in an RV because of the refrigerator, and you don’t have to worry about packing and unpacking your camping bags every night or morning. 

However, the big RVs can be a headache if you're driving through low-hanging bridges or tight spaces. They’re also more expensive to fuel and maintain compared to smaller-size vehicles. Alternatively, you could choose a Class B RV or a camper van if prefer an RV that strikes a balance between rural camping and big-city adventure. But the question is — what’s the difference between a Class B RV and a camper van? And which one should you buy?

This terrifying video proves why ski lift wind holds are a thing
Frozen chairlift in Tignes, Rhone-Alps, France

My favorite chairlift is the FourRunner Quad at Stowe Mountain Resort. Rising more than 2,000 vertical feet over steep pitches and offering a panoramic view of Mountain Mansfield, the lift is an icon of the eastern winter experience. It’s like ascending a rollercoaster.

The FourRunner lift starts loading at 8:00 a.m. In the lead-up, skiers and riders are raring to go, with excited banter and equipment adjustments filling the air. But sometimes, when the clock strikes eight, empty chairs continue up the hill, and resort staff notifies everyone of a “wind hold.” That occurs when winds reach about 40 mph, presenting a safety hazard for occupants.

Visiting new mountains broadens your horizons as a skier or snowboarder. Towering peaks and diverse terrain let you stretch your legs and build your skills. Local culture and unique fare create a one-of-a-kind experience. Powder days are the icing on the cake, letting you float and glide through a winter wonderland.

When you’re at an unfamiliar ski resort — especially a big mountain environment with thousands of skiable acres — it can feel like being lost in a sprawling city. Whether finding the right chairlifts or locating on-mountain dining, time spent navigating takes away from your time on the hill. Unless you’re with a friend or family member with local knowledge, you might spend half the day getting acquainted with the surroundings.
