Step 3
Make transportation, hotel/resort, meal and excursion reservations in advance either through a travel agent if the trip is complicated or online. Search for online discounts for all aspects of the winter vacation. Consider bed and breakfasts and vacation rentals for lodging as well. Keep reservations, maps, directions and agendas in a folder or binder to stay well organized.

Step 4
Research what gear or special clothing may be needed for the winter vacation. Purchase clothing or other gear that is easy to transport; this may vary depending upon the selected mode of transportation. For example, traveling with snow boots is easier if driving oneself opposed to flying. If you do not wish to take any gear, check into renting any gear that may be needed upon arrival.
