After 15 years as a chef in Vail, Colo., James Gibson has a memory of every bump and turn on the resort town's famous slopes. Now he offers the next best thing to even first-time visitors. For as little as $15 a day, Gibson's Maptrek company rents skiers and trail bikers fanny packs equipped with global-positioning satellite devices that record their every move. At day's end they get a map showing their precise path and approximate speed. In the fall, Gibson will add head-mounted videocams, so visitors can replay their adventures...

A major resort in its own right, Mackinac Island has plenty to keep the whole family busy, including the Butterfly House, a walk-through greenhouse filled with live butterflies and flowers, and Fort Mackinac. For starters, though, grab a taste of the island's world-famous fudge and take a carriage tour to get yourselves oriented.
