I really like the Gatlinburg,TN area during the winter! One of the closest Ski place near Florida, perfect for a road trip and a really like all the entertainment and places to go around there!

Family Friendly Ski & Snowboarding Area! The tracks are most beginners (green and blue tracks) and they have some restaurants, stores and easy to reach even during a snow storm.

If you are a Ski Fan, this another Ski Area it's about 1:30h from Gatlinburg and for me it's better if you really want to ski!
