We don’t recommend you try this. Our mission was to ski the best of the Colorado Rockies in one week. 126 ski runs for 235,030 total vertical feet of skiing and 24 pillows (4 heads x 6 resorts) later, we were supremely rewarded (and exhausted) from a phenomenal week. more...

To keep skiers and riders sampling its extensive out of bounds terrain safely, the resort offers avalanche seminars and courses on an ongoing basis throughout the winter. One day avalanche awareness courses ($45) start in the classroom and then move into the backcountry, and include basic transceiver usage and how to dig and understand snowpack layers in a snowpit.

1. Call the ski resort in advance to reserve ski camp, as programs tend to fill up on holidays and weekends.
2. Ask exactly what is included in the price (lessons, equipment, snacks, lunch, etc.).
3. Reserve ski equipment* if needed.

The ski resort brochure depicts the smiling family skiing side by side. What they don’t show is your little one pitching a hissy-fit while you carry them down the hill, equipment flailing, nose running and tears streaming. more...
