[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recommend Seven Springs - typically they run a package deal for families each winter which for one set price (something like $200 per adult) includes 2 nights lodging, lift tix, dinner and breakfast buffets, and coupons for the indoor bowling alley, mini golf and snow tubing. The ski school there is great, and I like the trails better than at whitetail and liberty (I've never been to Wisp, but that is a good option, too).  If has a lodge feel to the hotel and lounge areas (lots of fireplaces, wood beams) which is nice for times you are not skiing. [/quote]

Anyone been to Wisp? Seems to have great snow and cabins by the lake.[/quote]

We go to Wisp every year for MLK weekend.  It's fairly crowded, but manageable.  My husband hadn't skied in 20 years when we started to go, and kids were 3 and 6.  I had never skied in my life, and have since learned it's really nearly impossible to learn to ski past age 40 - there's just no enjoyment for me.

Anyway, the club wisp for kids is pretty good and starts at age 3.  The first year, the youngest really didn't pick up much, and on day 2, when oldest was skiing with husband, the 3 year old and I hung out.  Year 2, so kids 4 and 7, we got small group lessons for oldest and put youngest in the club willy wisp for all day. On second day, I again hung out with youngest while oldest skied with husband.  But had I been a skier, or had we really pushed it, youngest could have been out skiing.

It's a far drive out to Wisp, but it's pretty out there and there's a little bit to do besides skiing - couple of state parks with visitor centers and decent hiking, tiny bit of shopping, driving around and looking at stuff, handfuls of restaurants.  They also have ice skating, tubing, and a fun mountain roller coaster.  Worth a long weekend.  [/quote]
