This western slope outpost offers plenty in the way of kids’ activities both on and off the slopes. The treasured mountain boasts kids-only magic carpet lids, private lessons from experienced instructors, and their unique “Red Wagon” shuttle that helps transport families bogged down with gear to and from the ski hill. Children will love the Sunshine Family Trail’s cast of characters like snow monsters, Olympians, and others. Visit this wonderful locale aptly known as Ski Town U.S.A.
Conveniently located just an hour and a half from the Front Range, this Summit County mountain is the perfect place for a day trip. Little ones will love playing on Critterland’s tubing carousel, miniature tubing hill, and snow tunnels. For families interested in staying the night, parents can take advantage of Copper’s Kids Night Out program, which offers three hours of free childcare. The mountain’s tubing hill, Rocky Mountain Coaster, and The Barn indoor adventure area are great alternatives for kids looking to take a break from skiing and make new friends.
Families who book two or more nights at Keystone Resort can take advantage of its Kids Ski Free program. In addition to this awesome perk, there are plenty of activities for little ones, including face painting, fort building, scavenger hunts, disco tubing, and more. Families get free front row parking and access to chauffeurs to help minimize hassle with gear, children, and transportation. The Family Ski Trail is gentle and low-key for those first timers looking to practice turns and take it slow.
