Splitting the Bill

November through February are opportune months for winter sports, as snowfall accumulates on the slopes offering opportunities for skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, sledding, and more. Whether in California's Olympic Valley, Colorado's ski towns, or New England's snowy charm, cheap homestays can be found for nightly rates of less than $100 a person. So grab the extended family or those trusted folks in your pandemic bubble and plan a winter wonderland getaway.
