Would/was going to
Hi, there
Should I say “I’d only be able to enjoy snow this week if I knew I was going to go somewhere a little warmer soon” or “I’d only be able to enjoy snow this week if I knew I would go somewhere a little warmer soon”?
Thank you

It would be better to add 'the', and miss out 'going to'
I'd only be able to enjoy THE snow this week, if I knew I was going somewhere a little warmer soon.
('going to' isn't wrong, but it's unnecessary, and it sounds more like a native-speaker to simply use the continuous form in this sentence - which is a second conditional).

The first sentence is better. This sentence is a conditional and the would in the second sentence makes it awkward.
