Get in on the snow action this winter. Here are five ways you and your family can enjoy the upcoming ski season.

1. Jackson Hole, Wyo. Help the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort celebrate its 50th anniversary. Once a rugged, Western outpost popular with extreme skiers, the resort now offers plenty of beginner and family-friendly terrain. Avid skiers and boarders can explore new territory with the Golden Ticket. Bring your season pass from any other resort between Jan. 11 and 31 for discounts.
