Planning a Family Ski Vacation

by Joshua Spaulding

Most ski resorts have websites. Start the planning process by accessing these websites to determine where you and your family might want to go for your family ski vacation. There are many different things to look for when choosing a resort. The absolute most Important thing to look for is a ski school if someone in your family will need instruction. While most resorts do have ski schools, some don’t. Don’t make the mistake of choosing a destination where one or more of your family members won’t have fun, simply because they don’t know how to ski.

Next, take a look at the slopes, lifts, and trails. You want to make sure that the resort has something to offer everyone in your family. If the resort only caters to beginners, an expert skier will become quickly bored. If you have a snowboarder in your group, and there is no snowboarding park or terrain, that snowboarder will not be happy. There are resorts that serve all winter sports – so make sure that your families interests are covered.

Lodging is the next thing to look at. You want to be comfortable, so where you will sleep at night matters a great deal. In most cases, there is a hotel right at the base of the slopes – but this isn’t necessarily the best or most affordable place to stay. Find out what your lodging options are for the area, and choose the one that is right for your family and your budget. If you will be staying farther away from the slopes, make sure that there is transportation to and from the slopes each day!

Your family will have many more interests that you will need to search for before deciding on a particular destination and resort. Some of those interests may be dog sledding, sleigh rides, snowmobiling, snowshoeing or horseback riding. Resorts do offer these activities, but some don’t – so be sure to ask about the winter activities, as well as the planned events during the time that you will be at the resort. This will help you plan a ski vacation that your family will enjoy and remember for the rest of their lives.

5 Reasons To Vacation In The Off-Season

by Dr. Gary S. Goodman

If you have any discretion as to when you can take your vacations, my tip is to book them in the off-season at various resorts and destinations.

You’ll be happy you did, for at least five good reasons:

  1. Off-season travel is almost always cheaper. You can save 50% and more, for example, on hotels alone, by booking your trip to Hawaii in October or In March, when most people are trekking over there in the dead of winter and during summer and spring vacations.
  2. You’ll miss the crowds. Hey, you may love people and adore having lots of company, but believe me, crowds

Dolly Parton's Dixie Christmas Stampede

by Andrew Moore

Now in its third season and going strong, we decided to give ourselves a holiday treat and go to the Dixie Christmas Stampede with all our family, as it was Diane’s mum’s 65th Birthday. Located just minutes from all the major attractions, it is only minutes from the US192 and International Drive and extremely easy to find with the directions that the staff give you when you ring to reserve you seats. Booking early is advised especially in high season as they book up early. The horses that perform during the show can all be seen in the stable before
