Spend a weekend playing jet-setter this winter
Collingwood
If tearing down the slopes isn't exactly your idea of skiing fun, maybe a less-intense getaway is in order. Nestled in the shadow of the Niagara Escarpment and surrounded by Georgian Bay, Collingwood is Ontario's quintessential family destination, where ski-bunnies-in-training can take advantage of the wide variety of lessons and activities available to kids while their parents get a much-deserved break. And even if you don't have any kids in tow, Collingwood is the perfect place to learn to ski or brush up on long-forgotten skills without the pressure of a major mountain looming.
How: Fly direct to Toronto's Pearson International Airport from Boston (Air Canada, American, United, US Airways; about 2 hours), Chicago (Air Canada, American, Midwest, United, US Airways; about 1.5 hours), Columbus (Air Canada, United; about 2 hours), New York (Air Canada, American, Continental, Delta, United, US Airways; about 2 hours), or Philadelphia (Air Canada, Continental, United, US Airways; about 1.5 hours); then drive 90 minutes to Collingwood.
