[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get skiing either, and it's a mild source of frustration in our marriage.  My husband likes skiing and got our two kids into skiing.  Pre covid, we would go to Snowshoe for a weekend, and between rentals and hotel costs, along with the skiing costs, it was approaching a 2K weekend (for the lowest/most basic places in snowshoe).  And I don't ski!  To me it's just not worth it as a family activity.  Also frankly I hated going along and then being part of the getting everyone ready and out the door and then helping everyone get all their gear etc off and dried when they got back.  it was like I was the maid for the family.  My husband was always frustrated that I wasn't helping more.

[b]We've not been skiing since covid, and the kids - high schoolers - have been saying they want to go.

That said, I'm not starting a thread about why do people like it.  Good for you if you do.  I jsut don't want to participate.  [/quote]

Just have your husband go solo with the kids and enjoy a kid-free week/end to yourself.

My DW is like you - really hates the cold/snow and no desire to ski. I've managed to convince her to come to the Alps for skiing with the family - there are full day ski programs for the kids, lots of stuff to do aside from skiing (shopping, restuaurans, spas, etc), and its generally just a lot cheaper than in the U.S.

She loves Italy so the next big trip is definitely the Dolomites.[/quote]
