Families that play together, stay together, so why not a plan a fun family ski getaway?
Bretton Woods, NH
Located in the White Mountains of northern New Hampshire (under a 3-hour drive from Boston), the state’s largest (and best family) ski area gets high marks for its consistently good weather conditions: An east-facing exposure protects it from the northwest wind, while exceptionally good snow coverage means parents don’t have to worry (as much) about exposed rocks while teaching their kids to ski and snowboard. Younger children (not to mention their solace-seeking parents) will love the Kids’ Club, which offers supervised games, activities, and kid-friendly dinners like pizza or macaroni and cheese (during select holidays) on the lower level of the historic Mount Washington Hotel. Older kids (ages 12 and over) with parents in tow can alternatively check out the resort’s year-round Canopy Tour (opened in December 2008) – it features elevated suspension bridges and treetop zip-lines descending some 1,000 feet to the base of the resort. www.mtwashington.com
