I have never ski before but I'd love to give it a try when I got a chance to visit snowing country. : )

Hi Keller and Brian.

thank you for your comments.

These days, i think skiing is for everyone. People are happier in the mountains, getting excericse and having family fun. Actually sledging is huge fun… unmissable when the snow arrives.

Still haven't gone skiing, and looks like it probably won't happen for while (at least until I'm no longer pregnant). I remember the family drives up to the snow for a day of sledding. Lot's of fun, but I would really have loved staying longer. Love your tips and will keep them in mind for future family events!

I'm terrified to ski. I'm afraid I'll end up wrapped around a tree like one of the Kennedys or Sonny Bono!

Hi Lance, you've created a very good list of things to remember for parents planning a ski trip with the family. Skiiing and snowboarding is something I've never done (except cross country which I love). I had a back injury which makes me nervous to try anything with the potential to re-injure but it is really tempting to try a small hill :0) 2 of my three kids love snowboarding and would have really enjoyed a trip like this as they were growing up.

Wow. Now I want to go skiing with the family (she types while sitting on a couch with torn ligaments from her last skiing attempt 6 weeks ago). You make it sound so much fun! Plus we love to travel. Perhaps sometime we'll go and I'll just sit quietly-and safely-in the lodge.

Hi Lance,

This list is interesting. Bringing the children in these risky areas could really be a hassle most of the times but having the effort of taking into precautions but still trying to enjoy the learning with them is such a gift to everyone during the holidays. Thanks for the contact details of affordable services as well!

Will look forward visiting there soon.
