extendedforecast Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 We would like to take the kids to Colorado to see the snow and maybe ski depending on where we would stay. I've been looking online, but I'm not sure which sites to trust, so I thought I'd ask and see if anyone could point me in the right direction. Also, if you have any advice for a family of 6 with kids ranging from 1 year to 11 years old who live in a southern state that rarely gets snow. We would be planning on driving. Thanks, Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarfoot Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 We've stayed in a wonderful condo in Keystone twice. My DH took care of the reservations, and he's asleep right now.:) I'll find out tomorrow for you, if it'll help you at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extendedforecast Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 Thanks so much! :) I'll look it up on the map and research the area meanwhile. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 WE've skied at Keystone and Breckinridge. Both are lovely mountains. Winter Park is also great. If you can, go during the week. Fewer people on the slopes. If you can afford it, sign the kiddoes up for ski lessons...a class or individually. They'll learn quickly and while they are in class, you can get a few runs in down the harder slopes. We packed lunches rather than eat overpriced offerings. ;) Our absolute favorite thing was to stay in a ski in - ski out condo. Ooo la la.... So nice to be able to pop back in for a nice lunch and change into dry, warm socks. Have a ball. I think skiiing is a fine family activity. I wish we had done more of it when our guys were growing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 We have used http://www.vrbo.com on many occasions (though not for a place in Colorado). We use this a lot. We're taking the gang to Winter Park in Feb. There are places my DH and I like skiing better but Winter Park is an awesome place to take kids.

dhudson Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Try Snow Mountain Ranch (it's a YMCA) near Winter park. It's much cheaper and easier to get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
