You don’t have to go big to keep your little snow bunnies entertained this winter. In fact, these tiny towns are proving just how much adventure one family can fit into a small space, with everything from sleigh rides and sledding to skijoring and sightseeing, and even a few that don’t include snowy goodness (hello, beaches and sunshine). Flip through to find your next pint-sized winter destination!

Taos, New Mexico (Appx. Population 5,763)

Make this art colony a home base for your New Mexico family skiing adventures. There are five mountain ski areas in the Taos Ski Valley, and you’ll find all the snowy adventures you can handle there—skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, indoor skating and sno-park play for your tiniest tots. You can also count on winter festivals all season long and special holiday events too, like the Bonfires on Bent Street and the Lighting of LeDoux.
