10 Must-Avoid Spots for Singles on Valentine's Day

Must-Avoid Spot: Cozy ski lodges.

Why: Two words: cuddle trap. What with their hot crackling fireplaces, fuzzy wool blankets, and steamy cups of hot chocolate, these rustic abodes practically force guests to snuggle—and woe betide the lodger with no snow bunny of his own.

Where Singles Should Go Instead: Chairlifts with cuties. Singlehood doesn’t make skiing off-limits. The trick?Hit slopes frequented by the unattached, like Jackson Hole, WY. In pursuit of the greater good, we tracked down where the hotties congregate: The Granary, a cozy Teton slope-side bar usually packed with sexy cowboys; the new, mountainside Four Seasons; and the smaller Rusty Parrot, with locally crafted furniture and a solicitous vibe. Shy and living on the East Coast?There’s Black Mountain, NH’s Chairlift Speed Dating event.
