ASPEN SNOWMASS SKI RESORT

At Aspen Snowmass in the town of Snowmass Village near Aspen, Colorado, the ski and snowboard schools offer programmes that seamlessly blend playtime with ski instruction for children between eight weeks to four years old. The newly opened Hideout Children's Center is an innovative facility that offers the perfect introduction to skiing for kids between ages of two-and-a-half to four. There is a gentle training slope for first turns, a magic carpet lift, and interactive, indoor learning rooms to allow the little ones to learn about skiing through play. Meanwhile, the Treehouse Kids' Adventure Center brings the great outdoors indoors with Colorado-themed playrooms and supervised activities. Besides experienced staff, there will also be a licensed, registered Thes nurse who is certified to take care of children here. Parents with kids who are too young to check into the kids clubs need not worry there is state-licensed childcare at the hotel for infants and toddlers.
