"It's got virtually all California has." Plus the Mediterranean. Vive la Sickie! Workaholics they're not, but a new study by the U.K.'s Trades Union Congress says British employees do have an addiction that cost the economy €3.37 billion last year.

Instead of trying to cram into overbooked Park City, stay 40 minutes away at Robert Redford's 6,000-acre resort in Sundance Village.
