short-cut to: Family Skiing - Resorts in New England, Pennsylvania, New York State, Colorado, Utah, Canada.
Forget "Old Man Winter": for families who ski or board, "Winter"'s a buff guy in gortex, and a chance to get onto white slopes under bright blue skies.
So, where to go? The next pages have suggestions in eight regions. But first, take a minute for: Points to Consider in Choosing a Family Ski Resort, such as:
- advantages of non-celebrity ski resorts
- airport-to-slope-time
- Kids Ski Free opportunities
Keep in mind that ski resorts will vary:
- in vertical lift: as kids get older, the family may crave longer runs at bigger mountains
- quality of the snow: for most of us, ice is not nice; and champagne powder is sweet.
- kids' programs: some ski resorts go all out not only with kids programs but also teen programs and deluxe child-care centers.
