Split a lakeside cabin, spend the day kayaking impossibly blue water or bombing down powder, then crowd around the fire pit passing a bottle of whiskey. It's known for alpine lake and ski slopes. A house near the sand, long lazy days, and a couple of boat or beach-club splurges — lodging leads, everything else is easy.

- Book the beachfront house early — the good ones go six-plus months out.
