Ski Diva Extraordinaire
HI everyone! I've been gone for awhile, but I'm trying to help my family plan a ski trip next winter and I'm looking for some help. It honestly just doesn't seem quite as easy to google stuff as it once was. I would love any an all suggestions for places to go. Also a bit of background (I don't know what is even going to show under my name when I post this, it's been that long). No idea why I made my user name when I did way back when, I've actually been skiing (not nonstop, haha I've lived in the south a lot of my life) for about 30 years. Lived in Colorado in college, fell in love with skiing all the more.
Who is going: A handful of intermediate to intermediate advanced adults. and the first ski trip EVER!!! for my adorable three nieces ages 4, 7, and 8.
Where we are trying to go: Utah, but open to other places. The rest of my family is trying to avoid Colorado because well they have all skied there some, I on the other hand have skied there so much I have so many memories there and I'm a sentimental person.
Mostly I'm trying to find a good budget friendly place (I've been kinda shocked by ski school prices....... some of them are more expensive for a day then what my season pass was in college)
Just as important, I'm looking for a place with a really good and welcoming kids program. I could see all of this being a little out of my nieces comfort zone , so I'm wanting to make sure they will have fun and have encouraging friendly instructors. There's only so much reviews can tell you online so I would love personal recommendation from anyone here, and advice if you think we should avoid any places as well.
