11 Great Family Resorts

Okemo Mountain Resort is another Vermont spot offering a memorable snow-centric experience. Okemo is a smaller scene (as compared to Smuggler's Notch) but is well regarded for its attentive service, free skiing and boarding for kids under six, and inexpensive lessons (as low as $39). Accommodations are offered on—or close to—the mountain, and the 18,000-square-foot fitness and aquatic centre offers kiddie pools and hot tubs for sore muscles after a day of shredding down the hill.
