What time of year are you planning on going? \n\nIf it's summer, go south. Las Lenas Argentina is awesome and you'd do quite well there with $5000. South America is the experience of a lifetime. Everyone should try and get down there at least once in their life.\n\nIf it's gonna be next winter, I have to recommend Whistler. Not only are Whistler and Blackcomb two of the most amazing mountains in the world but the town of Whistler is very cool to hang out in. Tons of amazing shops, clubs, bars and resturants and the atmosphere is like no other. Again, you could have a great trip there for 5 grand. \n\nOther options I'd recommend are Vail, Mammoth and Jackson Hole all totally awesome mountains but (with the exception of Vail) none of them even compare to Whistler.

The 2010 Winter Olympics are being held in Vancouver, Canada. Are you asking the question as a disgruntled Canadian voter or as someone who has been told their house will be demolished to make way for an Olympic venue?

Most people when they talk about the Himalayas are referring to a group of several mountain ranges which includes the Hindu Kush, Karakoram and Himalaya Mountains.  Using the name Greater Himal or Greater Himalayas would be a better term for the grouped mountains.\n\nThe Greter Himalayan region extends for about 2500km, is about 300km wide and lies within China, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Bhutan and the Tibetan Autonomous Region of Southern China.\n\nAll of the worlds highest peaks are found here including Mount Everest (8848 metres and also known as Sagarmatha or Chomolungma).  The highest point outside the region is Aconcagua (6690m) which is towards the southern end of the Andes Chain in South America.

Just went to Copper Mountain last weekend for their opening and they have some great skiing there. It is more of a resort type ski area though and targets a lot of tourists.  Breckenridge and Vail are better options for someone not looking for the big resort type of ski area.

Chamonix is a popular winter sports resort in France with some of the best skiing runs in the world. The 1924 Winter Olympics were held here. As the highest European mountain west of Russia, Mont Blanc holds a special allure for mountain climbers, and Jon Krakauer, in an essay in his collection Eiger Dreams, described the town as "the death-sport capital of the world." This is because Chamonix serves as an ideal playground for almost all types of outdoor activity, especially in their more extreme variants like ice climbing, rock climbing, extreme skiing, paragliding, rafting, canyoning.\n\nChamonix is famous for its spectacular cable car up to the Aiguille du Midi (3842m). Constructed in 1955 it was then the highest cable car in the world. Together with a cable car system going up to the Point Helbronner (3462m) from Entréves in the Aosta Valley (Italy) it is possible to cross the entire Mont Blanc Massif by cable car.
