    If you ask me just chill out at home it is simpler and cheaper

    just a safety tip… if anyone plans to go snowboarding, please WEAR A HELMET!!! especially if u plan to do tricks!! There were so many times that if I werent wearing a helmet, it would not have been a good sight. trust me, its worth it.

    I’m all for a winter vacation. However, the word “yeshiva” in the title raises the eyebrows quite a bit. Do yeshivas in America really stop smack in the middle of the zman for a break? Meimisim atzmam be’ohola shel Torah on the slopes?

    If you do not mind driving around a bit, philly and the brandywine valley might be of interest. In addition to being a place of history, including a Jewish museum, there is also a frum community. It has world class art and science museums and if any of the high schoolers want to look at a college with a frum population, u of penn would be in session with one of the finest hillels in America. Venturing beyond the city, Longwood Gardens has no peer as a botanic garden and a little south into Delaware, Winterthur attracts visitors from around the world to see the furnishing collections. West toward Lancaster is a different kind of frum community, that of the Amish Mennonites. While it is a little touristy, there are railroad museums, horse & buggies, and some open farms as well as a few reasonably authentic farmers markets. And then there are some of the largest collection of shopping outlets around.

    Otisville, a pleasant retreat in upstate New York, has a minyan but security concerns make it hard for those who are not in the koilel there to daven in the beis medrash.

    -see you Purim!

    Rocking Horse Ranch has Yeshiva Week with miyanim and kosher food. Theres skiing, snow tubing, horseback riding, a new water park with seperate swimming, etc… If your kids are major skiers its not really for them its just a small ski hill. But we go every year and even my teenage kids love it!

    I don’t see why we need two threads asking pretty much the same question so let’s move this discussion over to http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/ideas-for-midwinter-vacation
