Skiing is one of the ultimate family travel activities and resorts around the country cater to multigenerational groups, but which ones are the best? USA Today has a few recommendations.
"Skiing with kids can be an exasperating affair. It's made easier, however, by ski resorts with thoughtful arrangements and measures that ease the burden on parents," writes Christopher Steiner.
Steiner recommends several resorts, starting with Keystone in Colorado.
"Keystone is one of many Vail Resorts properties that excel at making family trips easier. The parent company has developed a formula and emphasized amenities that make the task of schlepping kids around the mountain a little easier with gobs of ski-in, ski-out lodging and base villages that include all kinds of restaurants and kid-centric entertainment," says Steiner.
Beaver Creek, another Colorado resort, also tops the list.

"Beaver Creek is unique within Vail's family-friendly catalog for a few reasons. The ski resort possesses an excellent patch of terrain for first-timers and beginners down low at the bottom of the mountain. It even has a dedicated gondola, the Buckaroo Express, which keeps little kids warm as they lap the bunny slopes," says Steiner.
In Utah, Park City is a perfect option.
"There may be no better combination of ski mountain and ski town in all of the world. But that's not the only thing that makes Park City such a brilliant spot for families. The slopes here sit only a 35-minute car ride from the airport in Salt Lake City, a hub for Delta, and an easy place to fly direct to from dozens of cities across the United States and Canada. Traveling with kids is never easy, but the commute to Park City keeps skiers' last leg a short one," Steiner reports.
These are just three of the many family-friendly ski resorts around the country. For more, read on here.
