Wyoming is world famous for excellent snowmobiling, with thousands of miles of groomed trails maintained throughout the state. If you're looking for a great spot to set off on your sledding adventure, visit Togwotee Lodge. You can stay for a while, or just book a day tour.
If you're looking for the best view in the state, head to the top of Rendezvous Peak at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. You'll experience a breathtaking view that overlooks all of the Jackson Hole region.
Grand Targhee is one of the most popular ski resorts in the world, but taking to the slopes here can be intimidating if you're not great on skis. Instead, why not spend the day tubing down the slopes? You'll have so much fun and enjoy thrills and sights along the way.

The National Elk Refuge offers another amazing horse-drawn sleigh ride that's one of the top winter attractions in Wyoming.
