[quote=Anonymous]We are looking to take our kids skiing for 3-4 days over winter break.

They are in elementary school and have never skied before.  We have one super-coordinated, fearless, strong athlete and one somewhat uncoordinated scaredy-cat, so we really have no idea if they will both take to it and have to be dragged off the slopes or if they will be exhausted and done after 3 hours.  DH & I can both ski but have not in YEARS, and for various reasons I'm not sure if I'm even going to, though DH is a good skier and definitely will be skiing, on his own and with the kids.  Kids would also like to try snow tubing.

I'm looking at lots of places online, but I have never skied in this area and I'm not familiar with any of these mountains and not sure what would be a good fit for us.  I realize that during a holiday week it will be really crowded so I'm wondering if we should try for a smaller place like Bryce in the hopes that will be less crowded - or would be get bored with it since it's small and we're going for several days.

Nice accomodations are important - would love to have a condo/townhouse or house with fireplace and kitchen, as opposed to just a hotel room, if possible.  If there was an indoor pool and some other activities available, that would be a big plus.

I've looked at:
Snowshoe (too far?)
Wintergreen
Seven Springs
Bryce
Massanutten
Wisp

Any recommendations - on these or other places??
