If you're planning a winter vacation, you're either wanting to escape to the beach or embrace the cold with a snowy stay and a warm fire not too far away.
HomeToGo, a vacation rental marketplace, released its annual Ski Season Report, which ranks the top ski destinations in North America.
The team behind the report took the top 100 most-searched ski destinations in North America and narrowed them down to 48 areas with 44 miles of ski slope or more.
HomeToGo then ranked the destinations across six categories:
