Are you ready to take your family on a ski trip (Contact Us 888.700.2SKI 2754)? It’s important to choose a resort that is geared towards families and children. Not all ski resorts are suitable for beginner skiers. This is not to say that there are ski resorts that have signs reading “No Beginners Allowed.” In fact, most areas roll out the welcome mat for new skiers, but there are some resorts where the terrain and services are geared toward satisfying the wants and challenges of the advanced skier. This is actually good for beginners, because it keeps the fast-moving, high-flying experts from scaring first-timers.

Family Ski Vacations

Ski resorts that are geared toward the new and beginning skier are not hard to find. Most promote themselves as the premier place to learn to ski.
Look for a resort with a dedicated area for new skiers, including a slow, easy means of transport to the top of the learning hill, a package deal that includes a full day ticket on the learning area, appropriate skis, boots, and poles, and at least a two hour lesson in a guaranteed small group.

You’re the Customer

Ski resorts really want your business. If you are new to the sport, many resorts will offer a selection of accommodations that ease you through the process of parking, getting outfitted, and getting placed on the hill for your first appearance on skis. In some cases, a resort photographer is even available to record your experience for posterity! You should expect to be coddled because if your experience is not pleasant, the resort knows you won’t be back.

Ski and Stay Packages

Family ski and stay vacation packages typically offer free children’s lift tickets, with an adult purchase, as well as free lodging for children. Many ski areas offer multi-day packages with lessons every day, sometimes twice daily, and appropriate equipment upgrades as you progress. Most resorts have a planned progression of lessons that can step you through higher skill levels at your own learning pace.

Accommodations

Check to see if the resort has slopeside condominiums available. A condo is ideal for a family ski vacation. There are usually two or more sleeping areas, a dining room or eating area, and a kitchen, so it isn’t necessary to spend time (and money) eating every meal in a restaurant. A good alternative is a suite with a kitchenette. Also handy is outside access. A door to the parking lot saves dragging skis indoors, and it makes for easier access to, and from, the slopes. Many of our accommodations feature garages or underground heated parking areas, pools, hot tubs (private and common), gyms, steam showers, saunas, and much more.  You may be surprised to see that your children still have energy, when you’re out of it, and an pool is a good way to expend that extra energy. Regardless of the accommodations you choose, it’s useful if a shuttle, or other transportation, to the slopes is provided directly from your property.  All of our properties with a kitchen come fully stocked, all have linens and towels for your stay and a start supply of soap, paper products and coffee.

Child Care

If you have little ones, plan ahead. Review child care options and make your reservations well ahead of time. Many resorts, for example, has on-site child care for children ages 6 weeks – 6 years. Resorts have an impressive combination of ski, play, and child care programs, as well as the option of arranging a nanny to accompany your child throughout the day. Plan your nights out on the town, too. Check in advance to see if the resort can provide you with a list of approved babysitters. Make those reservations in advance, when possible, as well.

Finally, remember this is a family ski vacation and you will want to ensure that it’s a good one. To be certain, resorts have your best interests at heart, and can be trusted to provide an excellent product. It’s up to you to cover all the bases, and to make sure your family ski vacation is planned, from beginning to end, in advance and Rocky Mountain Resort Management is here to help in every way we can.  Welcome to the Colorado Rocky Mountains, how can we be of service to you today?
