Ski trips are special. For me, they are emotionally tied to annual vacations out west when I was a child, so they bear extra meaning. Additionally, I love that they are activity-focused. The full days spent in fresh air and beautiful scenery while gliding down a mountain lead to a happy and wrung out feeling as I pull off my robot boots in the late afternoon. Then there is the hot tub, the apres ski beverage, and the jovial replay of the day’s events (how crazy were those moguls?!) over a cozy dinner. Add in the extra blessing of now getting to watch my girls come into their own on the mountain, and you have my recipe for an ideal family trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve taken the girls to Snowshoe WV<\/a><\/span> and to Deer Valley<\/a>,<\/span> which were both great trips. This year we were invited to come experience Solitude Mountain in February 2020 and it was super exciting for a couple reasons. First of all, I had never skied Solitude before and a new experience always fires me up. Second, we love the direct flight from Charlotte to Salt Lake City. It’s an easy flight and upon arrival, you’re just 20 minutes from the slopes (as opposed to Colorado-which I love as well but where you still have to take a 2 hour shuttle ride after landing). And third, the girls ages really excited me for this trip. With some ski experience under their belts, plus now being 8 and 5, I had hopes of us all truly being able to ski together on this trip. Spoiler alert- it happened!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I hope this breakdown of our days is helpful for you in planning your own ski adventure. If you’re looking to plan a trip for your young family, Solitude Mountain Resort<\/a><\/span> is a great option in my opinion. And here’s why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
