Powder in Verbier, Switzerland
Powder in Verbier, Switzerland

With the holidays behind us, it is time to get serious about skiing.  The United States has been blessed with a snow season that in some places started as early as October!

All skiers dream of powder so consider the top ten powder destinations in North America and Europe when planning your ski vacation.  Luckily there are direct flights from Miami to just about every top ski destination, so getting there should be easy.

Perez Art Museum Miami Free This Sunday

IMG_2053If you were so busy with Art Basel and Art Miami that you missed opening week of PAMM, take the opportunity to visit it for free this Sunday.  It is a beautiful addition to Miami’s growing cultural scene.  I would recommend taking the metro  since the Frost Science Museum is still under construction.  There is a “Museum Plaza” stop on the Outer Loop.
