Enough talk about Colorado. Here's the map to look at. http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/news/what-a...hite-christmas
If you go to West Yellowstone MT, you have a 90% chance of seeing some snow. You have 100% chance of seeing Old Faithful and other thermal attractions.
You also have a good chance of seeing snow at Hoodoo on the Santiam Pass on US 20 in Oregon.

. Yes, we've already booked the tickets.
Thanks Gretchen. Casa Bonita sounds like fun for the kids. Is it something like the rainforest cafe but with a mexican theme vs a rainforest theme?
So I've seen a couple more cabins for $50 more a night ($300/night). One just south of Breck (but without a hot tub) and one on Grand Lake (with a hot tub).
What do you all think? Been to Estes before and we approached RMNP that way but not through the west entrance. Will there more likely to have snow there late December (Grand Lake)? How about south of Breckenridge? I can't decide, help!
Here are the 2 cabins:

Sorry, here's the breckenridge area cabin. http://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p438007vb
Spiro, I agree. I love the dunes but wanted snow for the boys. Been there and plan to take the kids there, perhaps when thwy're older.
Tom, Yellowstone/Grand Tetons is one of those trips that are top 5 for the boys. We think when they turn 4 and in the summer. When we were there last, we took an overnight kayaking trip to Grass Island with an outfitter and there was a family with 2 older girls and a 4 year old boy. The 4 year actually got in the kayak with his dad and paddled having no experience at all. Thought that was a really great thing. He thoroughly enjoyed himself. Why we want to wait till they are 4 to go visit. Not to mention the parks are more accessible during the summer time.
