Californian's have been experiencing enjoyable warm temperatures this winter season with averages in the 70s and in some cities in the 80s. Now most folks won't find that a bad thing, but I am sure there are plenty of you that wouldn't mind a weekend getaway to feel the crisp cold air against your cheeks, or the snow flakes touch the palm of your hands.

I have put together some of the best Ski Resorts in the west to visit in 2014 if you are a Californian feeling a little neglect from winter!

Jackson Hole Mountian, Wyoming

With 216" of snow this season, Jackson Hole Mountain has hit the #1 location to experience a variety of challenging terrain for the more experienced.

Deer Valley, Utah

Looking for some fresh powder after a storm? Deer Valley is the perfect location where the sun's always hitting the mountain with good snow perfect for skiing. With 97 out of 101 runs open this time of year, you're bound to have an excellent time!

Breckenridge Ski Resort, Colorado

Looking for a winter family vacation. Breckenridge is the place to be, with a variety of levels for everyone in the family.

Big Sky, Montana

With all the ski traffic heading towards Colorado and Utah, Montana get's left behind. If you're looking for a place to truly relax without all the fuss, Big Sky in Montana is the place to do it. I also hear Summit Hotel has a pool size hot tub!

Heavenly Mountain Resort, Lake Tahoe

Not all of California is experiencing the warm weather. Lake Tahoe was still hit with the crisp winter weather. Heavenly is known for some of the best tree skiing in California and well views from the top too!
