[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Currently on a ski trip with toddler who is too young to ski. For the past few days, I’ve been either watching her or skiing 100% of the time (taking turns with partner, and we have an older kid too). By the time I put toddler down I’m physically collapsing. Skiing is my favorite thing in the world, but I’m wondering if I just need to wait until she’s ready for ski school and try a different kind of vacation?

Then again, is there any vacation that’s not exhausting with a toddler? With our first it was much easier to tag team, but now we’re both more exhausted, she doesn’t nap, my partner is annoyed that I don’t want to stay up and watch a movie because I’m just so tired. He says maybe we should just stop traveling for a couple of years. I love to travel, and with one kid we did skiing, Europe trips, national parks, beach etc with no trouble. I’m reluctant to give up vacations but maybe he’s right.

I’ve had such an intense year at work and my team is counting on me to come back relaxed and ready to work, which is literally the opposite of what’s happening right now.

How does everyone do it? I see so many families traveling with toddlers all over the world and not looking half-dead like we are. What am I missing?[/quote]

Some resorts (snowshoe for example if you’re looking for something local) have “pre ski school” for 2-3 year olds where they mostly just do crafts and activities/play in the snow and maybe do a short ski lesson if they’re ready. This is the only way I’d try to do a ski vacation with a young child [/quote]
