[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am re-reading the OP.  I would not schlep 3 kids who haven't skied before out West.  I would [b]start small and local[/b]- snowshoe is a great rec.  See if you are a 'ski family', and if you are, start planning starting next year for more affordable ways to do this - collecting points for flights, planning out budgeting for passes, getting used gear, etc.   [/quote]

Agree, and go when the conditions are good. The first few days of skiing are hard enough. A lot of kids will hate it if it's rainy or icy or very cold.

You could also go to Liberty or Whitetail midweek sometime. Missing a day of school here and there is fine, especially with young kids. [/quote]

OK, but more times than not conditions are not good on the East Coast especially when it comes to ice for a beginners learning to ski. Most people can’t just wait until they’re sure of good conditions. They need to pre-plan a specific weekend. Our kids learned to ski in Vail and had an incredible time. Well worth the cost.[/quote].

It’s literally not well worth the cost. There is nothing about skiing that is well worth the cost. And we ski every year. Sometimes Vail, sometimes Beaver Creek, sometimes Boyne, and yes, sometimes Liberty. You can have an incredible time at Liberty with little kids/beginners. Don’t be ridiculous.[/quote]
