The Pacific Northwest (Seattle or Portland) are both good. There's a temperate rainforest up there, and quite a lot of Nature Parks, but also a lot of land used for commercial timber farming, which is to say, you plant the trees and then kind of ignore the land for a decade. Not sure about wild wolf populations, though.
Um. For snow in winter/pine tree you're going to want to move farther North into Canada or find somewhere in the Rockies. Or both. Or Yellowstone National Park, which fits the bill fairly well. Yellowstone isn't just pine forests though, because of the geologic activity. But wolves were reintroduced back there a few decades ago and they do fairly well.
I'm not sure about a city with organized crime that hasn't been ruled out already. St. Louis has, in recent years, gone through such a recession that it is now the most violent city in America, but I don't think it's very organized crime.
Sorry I can't be more help, but have lots o' fun tormenting your players.
