Skiing is a great way to bond with family, although it is expensive. Therefore, it is important to plan and book vacations in advance to get cheap tickets to your ski destination. Here are some points that may be of help:
Check the snow quality: the mountains in the US and Canada can be too hard for beginners. There are less challenging ski destinations in the US, like Utah or the interior of BC, where families are sure to have fun skiing.
Vertical elevation and limit: depending on the age of the children, the smaller mountains can be boring. You may want longer elevations and limits.
Consider smaller ski resorts: small doesn’t always mean bad. You’ll find that smaller ski resorts can be just as great, and you’ll enjoy skiing without the crowds and less money.
Time from the airport to the slopes: choose a resort you can trust to get you to the slopes on time. Utah is known for its reliable airport-to-runway services. Please note that during winter, the weather can be tricky and connecting flights may be cancelled.
Getting to and from accommodation to the slopes: Getting to and from the slopes with children can be a challenge. With something like ski-in-ski-out, kids can just zip up their gear on the lifts. Also, check to see if the resort you’re checking into helps with the gears. Some have ski helpers who can help you get your gear from the rentals to your hotel.
Consult the ski programs. There are ski resorts especially dedicated to the family. Here you will find world-class teen programs, child care centers and children’s programs.
So you see, getting cheap tickets for your vacation trip is just the beginning of the fun. You also need to choose your destination carefully.
