[quote=Anonymous]PP here. I missed the part about “younger kids.” If they’re younger than, say, tweens, and are truly beginner skiers, I wouldn’t spend your money on a ski vacation out west. Lessons out there are astronomically expensive, and the kids likely won’t have the stamina to ski all day, especially given the altitude change at some of the resorts out west. A better bet would be to go someplace closer and enroll the kids in a few days of ski school so they can learn the basics. My son, now 12, has been on skis since he was 4 years old, but we didn’t take a vacation out west until he was 7 and could pretty confidently ski on intermediate East Coast terrain. Even now when we ski out west, I still enroll him in one day of ski school so he can get his confidence and “ski legs” back, then he skis with the adults for the rest of the trip. I love skiing and am so glad I introduced my kid to it because he loves it too, but it’s definitely not a cheap pastime! Good luck. [/quote]
