Sure, the frosty winter weather can be a little bit frightful. While cold temperatures and inches of snow may make you want to stay at home, keep this in mind: road trips aren\u2019t just for summer. With thrilling ropes courses to tackle, craft distilleries to tour, and mountains to climb (and then ski down), there\u2019s simply no denying that winter is the perfect season to take a road trip. Here\u2019s everything you need to make it an epic trip with the guys.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nChoose your ride wisely<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead of chugging along the highway in your buddy\u2019s old station wagon with the dodgy brakes, consider renting a car rugged enough to handle any adventure. Choose one with enough cargo room for ski equipment, and is comfortable on all-terrain adventures. Then set your Garmin DriveSmart 65 & Traffic with Included Cable:GPS Navigator<\/a> from Buydig.com to your destination and go!<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nPack right\u2014and light
\n<\/strong>Just because you\u2019ll have the luxury of stuffing your car full with luggage<\/a> doesn\u2019t mean you need to over pack. All you really need is a durable winter coat, a few warm sweaters you can mix and match, and just one or two good pairs of pants you can wear from day to night.<\/p>\n

On top of that, you should consider investing in some essential road trip gear like portable wood-fire grills<\/a>, waterproof speakers<\/a>\u2014that can instantly upgrade your weekend getaway from just alright to absolutely epic.<\/p>\n

Ski towns aren\u2019t your only option
\n<\/strong>If you\u2019re planning a road trip during the winter, it\u2019s tempting to direct the GPS on your Garmin DriveSmart 55<\/a> from Buydig.com to the nearest ski village. But that\u2019s not the only choice you have when it comes to locale. Instead, consider venturing to a smaller lakefront town like Lake George in the Adirondacks or Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri. Since these spots are primarily summer destinations, gorgeous local hotels are likely to offer cheaper rates and better packages in the winter off-season. Don\u2019t forget to break out your drone<\/a> for some awesome aerial shots!<\/p>\n


\n<\/strong>\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/b>Hit up a local distillery or brewery
\n<\/strong>When it\u2019s too cold to want to do anything outdoors, your best bet is to head inside for a tasting at a local distillery or brewery. At spots like the Lake George Distilling Co. in Lake George, NY, you can savor shots of hand-crafted artisan spirits like apple pie moonshine, wildfire whiskey, and small-batch bourbon. If craft beer is more your speed, you can partake in brewery tours, beer classes, and tasting at a brewery like Founders Brewing Co. near the Great Lakes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Test your skills on a ropes course
\n<\/strong>Ropes courses and zip lines are typically summertime pursuits, but fall and winter are just as good for putting your upper-body strength and agility to the test on one of the many adventure ropes courses throughout the country. Bond with your buddies as you climb through obstacles, careen over wobbly bridges, and zipline through scenic woods and valleys.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re trying to put together the best bachelor party in history, or you just want a memorable weekend with the guys, you have plenty of options for awesome guy trips this<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
