If the winter means trading in your beach wear for snow-friendly attire, then you may want to plan your glamping getaways at these oh-snow friendly locations.
Leavenworth, Washington: Book a glamping stay at the Leavenworth Tiny House Village and get ready to enjoy all the snow in Leavenworth – average snowfall is upwards of 90 inches annually! And the choices of places to enjoy all the fluffy white stuff are almost as plentiful as the snow. There is the Leavenworth Ski Hill that offers Alpine skiing, Nordic skiing, tubing, sledding and snowshoeing.
