New year, new adventure: the family ski trip. Worth it? Oh, you bet! There's nothing like that crisp blue sky, glittering blanket of snow, and ear-to-ear grins after a successful run down the slopes. Rosy cheeks over mugs of hot chocolate after a full afternoon of skiing? Bring it on.
That being said, not all family ski trips are created equal, and parents who have been there, done that are valuable resources on how to avoid a weekend getaway wipe-out.
Pint Size Pilot posted a must-read list of tips for a successful first (or fifth) ski trip with toddlers and kids. From the planning stages (don't be too easily seduced by "kids ski free" deals - kids under six are often free anyway) to picking out gear (here's some new vocabulary: taped seams, grow cuffs, and powder guards) to packing (bring extra gloves and plenty of handwarmers) to actually hitting the slopes ("pizza" and "french fries" apply), they've covered all the bases, with plenty of new-even-to-me advice.
Check out their post, and I wish you fresh powder and short lines at the lifts!
