Hit the arcade at Kalahari Resorts & Conventions, book early to take advantage of the Holiday Sale offer at Split Rock Resort, check out the impressive new spaces at the reimagined Great Wolf Lodge, or combine splash time with ski time at Camelback Lodge & Aquatopia Indoor Waterpark.

5. Hit the Slopes

If "learn to ski or snowboard" is on your list of 2024 resolutions, why not get started early? Book a lesson with dedicated experts at one of our six fantastic ski areas. If you're already advanced at the schussing and stemming, you'll find plenty of trails to challenge you. Conquer the slopes while skiing or snowboarding on either New Year's Eve or New Year's Day or try gliding down the mountainside while snow tubing.
