Great Spots to go Skiing for Beginners

On this episode of the Travel Fun and Adventure Podcast, we discuss several great places to go on a ski vacation, especially if you're a beginner or want to travel to North America or Europe. When picking the ski resorts, we look for highly rated ones that have good beginner slopes, are family-friendly, and are budget-friendly. Also, none of these resorts sponsored this podcast.

Resorts in the North America:

Smugglers' Notch Resort, Vermont

Keystone Resort, Colorado

Big White Ski Resort, British Columbia

Suns Peak Resort, British Columbia

Winter Park Resort, Colorado

Schwietzer Resort, Idaho

Resorts in Europe:

Les Gets, France 

Alpbach, Austria

Saas-Fee, Switzerland

La Rosière, France

Bansko, Bulgaria

Here are some tips for planning your trip: 

-We say it in every podcast, but you should book early to get the best prices.
-Look for package deals, but also see if you can get better prices by booking transportation and lodging directly with the providers. 
-If you are traveling with children, be sure the resort has the amenities that are going to fit their needs, and remember that every age group will have different needs. 
-Look for ski-in/ski-out accommodations if they fit your needs and reduce travel. 
-Research the ski schools and their ratings to see which ones fit your needs. 
-Look at the cost of renting equipment and avoid buying equipment unless you are sure this is something you are going to want to do on a regular basis. 
-Think about how you are going to get to the resorts. If you are driving, which you will have to do to most of the North American resorts, make sure your vehicle is ready for winter driving. If possible, consider alternatives to driving, such as shuttle buses from nearby airports if you are flying in.
