Were not in the Alps anymore Toto Skiing in North America is different to skiing in Europe, there are more mountains and more space, which in some resorts means more room for beginners kids especially.Quite a few North American ski resorts areputting the work in for your kids, building special parks and ski runsand ski lifts, running great ski schools and providing plenty ofentertainment for nonskikids. These few seem to be working thehardest.You only have to be two months old to be welcomed into VailsSmall World Nursery where their clientele ranges from infants totoddlers to preschoolers. There you can spend either a full or half daygetting pampered and played with while your parents attack the skislopes. For kids ready for ski school there are plenty of options, fromwhole camps to private tuition. You can even get a video analysis ofyour form or have a group private lesson with the rest of your family -assuming your ski bunny parents arent going to embarrass you too much.As well as learning the basics Vail has a kids snow park, beginnersonly terrain runs and a race course for beating Dads on. Whistler has a special ust for ski kidsarea to ensure that all those pesky parents let you strut your ski stuff. Its also got one of the largest ski school programs anywherewhich allows you onto good terrain on both Whistler and BlackcombMountains via magic carpet lifts. For more whimsical tastes,Blackcomb has a Childrens Adventure Park which has runs that lead youthough an enchanted wood and a castle, and for kids who prefersnowboarding to skiing theres the Big Easy Terrain Garden. Some ofthe green runs are designated just for kids and if ski school giver youski skills you can take part in some night skiing.Whistlers childcare centre caters for the three to 48 month age groupand there are ski schools and ski school camps for kids up to 12 yearsold which you can book your kids into for a day or a couple of weeks. SteamboatSteamboat has a non- skiing Kindergarten, called the Kiddie Corralwhich will look after your little ones from six months to six years,Ski Kinder once you hit three and a half, and proper ski schools forski bunnies from seven to 15 years of age. But my-first-skiing-lesson can take place from two and a half years!Steamboats program splits kids up into age groups as well as skilllevel so as not to offend sensitive teens. If they get good enough yourkids might like to try the night skiing, and if they dont then dogsledding, ice skating, sleigh rides and snowmobiling sound equally fun.In Aspen the best skiing for beginners is on Buttermilk Mountain, which even sounds child-friendly,but the Snowmass village with its easy access to the slopes might bebetter for younger families. It has a designated skiing family zonewith a treasure hunt type trail, a racing arena and a snow park. Aspenalso has a reputation for having some very good ski schools.Very few ski resorts can come close to Aspen when it comes tonon-skiing activities, so your little ski bunnies can be distracted byskating, curling, swimming, husky sledding, snowmobiling, or even atrip to the opera, if you have kiddy culture vultures? If your kidswont ski you can still bring them here and enroll them in a holidayclub teaching them something else entirely cooking school anyone? Andthere are programs for babies as young as eight weeks old though theydont makes skis that small... Winter Parkoffers child care for tiny two month olds to big boy six year olds.Their care includes giving skiing parents a pager for peace of mind butthat wont help if youre the one who falls over skiing. By the looksof their Kids Adventure Center they may have just as much fun as youdo. Winter Parks ski schools will take ski kids from three years oldand they have a cool video play back lesson where you get to watchyourself and improve your ski form with advice from the ski schoolteachers. Theres also a designated beginners area called DiscoveryPark, but dont let the slightly naff name put you off, its got goodviews of the best of the slopes, a few adventure trails and a racecourse for first timers.
