[Colorado-Talk] family skiing suggestions

Winter Park would probably be good. They do have a bus service, and you can
take a bus or train there from Denver, so you shouldn't need a car.
Plus, they have one of the best programs for blind skiers, and of course,
they can give lessons for the kids. 
Many places offer discounts on equipment and lift tickets as part of their
disability skiing program.

Another option is Steamboat. It's further away but offers more beginner and
intermediate terrain. Plus, it's a larger town that offers more dining and
activity options.

That's my two cents.

Enjoy!


Cheers,
Tim

Subject: [Colorado-Talk] family skiing suggestions

Hello,
I am needing your suggestions and wisdom.

My family (husband and two children) are wanting to go skiing. We, as
adults, have skied before, but our children have not.
We might be able to meet up with someone who can assist us down the slopes,
but they would not be any assistance with the driving.
We don't have ski equipment, so would need to rent and obviously, we would
not be driving. I think that our children would enjoy ski lessons, so that
definitely is an option.
I also wonder if finding a driver is the best option.
We live just south of Denver.
  Here are my questions:
1. We are certain that we will need to rent all of the equipment at the
slope, which is probably more costly than buying or renting from the
cheapest place and trying to lug it to our destination. Which destinations
are easiest to get to via some type of pub/trans?
2. Which have you found to have the best programs for children especially
since we would like our children to enjoy the day, but don't want to be
overanxious about where they are/what they are doing?
3. this seems like such a daunting task, but we want to enjoy a ski
experience with our children. We thought about a lodging package, but it
seems that even lodging packages require you to have a car of some kind so
you can get to slopes, eateries, renting shops and back to the lodge. Any
suggestions on how to best do this?

I would love to hear anyone's hints and tips to make it more fun and less
stressful.
Thanks much.
Jan Ahmed
