My mom is getting a deal on some plane tickets so she wants to go on a trip with me. Figure about one week in any of the 50 states.

We've half decided we want to see some national parks. My mother doesn't like the cold too much, but she can deal with average NYC winter temps (30-40F)(-1-5C).

I immediately thought of the southwest. Utah, New Mexico or the like.

I like to ski/snowboard, explore the wilderness, party. She likes to relax.

Ideas?

ps: she mentioned Alaska but I figured it would be fucking brick cold in January.

I've been there actually. I'd rather not do anything in the east.

come visit me!

40F in January in Illinois is an extraordinarily nice day though, usually closer to 20

I have to stay away from the midwest for at least 5 more years.

who cares about 'snobs', i just know hanging out with redforman would be a big downer with that attitude. You don't have to stay at a resort, you can stay at a hotel or motel. lol or even camp. If wealthy people really bother you that much that you'd avoid a vacation... wtf? fun is what you make it
