Families that play together, stay together, so why not a plan a fun family ski getaway?
Crested Butte, CO
These uncrowded, powdery Colorado Rockies’ slopes come minus the icy patches more common to Eastern resorts, making them a resounding hit with tumble-prone kids (and adults) alike. Youngsters are especially stoked by kid-specific trail maps and the children’s terrain park, featuring rails, jumps, tabletops, rolls, and even a mini-halfpipe. Day care is on offer for little ones aged 2 months to 3 years (toddlers aged 2.5- to 3-years-old can even begin their own 1-hour lessons), with a 1-to-2 caregiver-to-infant ratio for tots under 18 months – ski programs are available for older kids. Tubing, movie, and pizza-dinner evenings keep the young ones entertained, while this historic-mining-town-cum-ski-resort – completely devoid of traffic lights and chain stores – serves to charm the skis right off of the adults. Access is via a 5-hour drive southwest of Denver, or just 45 minutes from the Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport (GUC). www.skicb.com
