Best Family Ski Resort in USA?

Hi,

We intend coming over to ski in late December/early January and had basically settled on going to Heavenly at South Lake Tahoe. However having read some of the reviews about Heavenly on TA we%26#39;re not so sure now.

We are all intermediate skiers and are used to ';ski in/ski out'; resorts and using lodge style accomodation.

I%26#39;d appreciate any suggestions about alternate resorts elsewhere in CA or other states

Cheers,

JB

I am always reluctant to suggest travelers from far away go to Tahoe for a December Holiday. Often the snow is not its best until January storms. Since we are close by the disappointment in the snow during a Christmas break is soon forgotten with the snowfall in January. But if you travel a long distance and want good snow, you should think about Colorado instead.

I will recommned Mammoth Mountain though.

Suzie, what do you think about Northstar for their needs? The accommodations there are great, including the ability to ski in/out...

I think Northstar is a terrific resort. Great for skiing and boarding but not in December for a family coming from as far away as Sydney. Too risky. I say Colorado in December.

Or Utah?

I agree that it would be very disappointing to come all the way from Sydney and have no snow, and that would be a distinct possibility.

Since the Olympics, I would think that Park City, Utah, or vicinity would have some great facilities.

Look at these.
