From 400 foot-long tubing hills to state-of-the-art skiing simulators, these spots around the country don't let elusive snow dissuade them from creating winter fun – and you can get in on the action.

Instead of letting another winter pass without a measly inch of snow, doom scrolling past your friends shredding the slopes, it's time to plan a trip where Mother Nature doesn't get to run the show.

More of a thrill-seeker? Jump in a tube and fly down the 60 foot tall tubing hill that spans hundreds of feet.
