[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to agree with the posters expressing caution about doing a whole week or out west trip for beginners. I personally think that would be too overwhelming, and expensive if you find out by day 2 or 3 that skiing just isn’t a good fit for a member of your family. We ski a few times a year but are definitely a 1-2 day and done type of family. A few hours of morning skiing followed by lunch and maybe some time at the hot tub is great, but we wouldn’t want to do it a full week.[/quote] I am that PP - 4 (3 kids and 1 adult) of 7 of us learned to ski out west. The kids progressed very rapidly, and even I got better quickly (though slower than them). It is a much more enjoyable experience than any skiing in driving distance from here. The kids take plenty of breaks in ski school, and there's no reason you have to go all day if you don't want to. It's a big financial commitment, but if you can swing it, you'll be astonished at how good they are when you get home. [/quote]
