Snow Tourism?

I'm a Florida boy, seen a bit of snow here and there at the top of mountains, but because I usually do my traveling my car, I've had to avoid snow for practical reasons.

I want to see snow covered landscapes and towns. What do you suggest?

Colorado is beautiful in fall, I imagine winter is crazy as well.

I've always wanted to see Alaska. What time of year would be best? I hear the coldest months are too dark and depressing.

Any experience with Iceland? Worth the extra money?

These are just a few places I've heard suggested from friends. Where and when do you guys suggest?

Could always go to rural Canada. Even somewhere like Montreal is usually covered in a few feet of snow come February. Avoid Toronto, it gets no snow for some reason, it's just cold and windy.

It is beautiful or is that just a stereotypical snowy place? Also, isn't snow in a major city like Montreal gonna be dirty as hell?

Also, what's the best logistics to visit snow?

I found taking the Hurtigruten up the coast of Norway in February worked well to see snow. Bergen was rainy, but Trondheim and north was definitely snowy. The prices are relatively low in February, and in the few clear nights you might see the Aurora Borealis.

Honestly, Montreal usually has enough snow falling that there's always a fresh layer. I lived there for a number of years and most of the time there was good amounts of snow. Rural parts will be more beautiful though, especially if you go somewhere out west in the mountains. Really though, anywhere outside of the main cities gets very nice and snowy in the winter. I have fond memories of skiing in Gatineau as a kid (pic related is some random pic of Gatineau off Google, pretty typical of the trails though) and cross-country skiing anywhere is a great thing to do in the winter time up here.
