WINTER Skiing and Snowboarding is enjoyed by most everyone from age 5 to 75. But differing levels of expertise and fitness means that different age groups will often want to go their separate ways. The ski slopes at Winter Park offer wide diversity -- something for everyone's taste. Adults can easily separate in the morning and regroup for lunch. Winter Park Resort offers an outstanding children's program that combines ski instruction with fun and games. Children 3-5 get introduced to skiing, but do not ride chairlifts. Children aged 5-10 spend all day -- roughly 9AM to 3PM -- making new friends and learning the sport. Lunch and nap-time are included. Parents can take a run or two after 3PM, or can spend all day with kids on the last day of vacation. Contact the Children's Center at Winter Park, Call locally 970-726-1551 the day before for reservations, or visit the blue building 2nd floor for details. From ages 10 to 12/13, parents are encouraged to be certain that their children are supervised on the ski hill. 10 year olds and above can take group or private lessons with their parents. Or they can opt for lessons with others their same age. Once a child reaches 12 or 13, they are usually mature enough to navigate around the ski mountain on their own. Parents need not worry, the Ski Patrol is regularly patrolling the slopes and makes sure everyone is down safely at the end of the day. Family radio's are a great way to stay in touch around the ski mountain. They work reliably across all trails in any given ski complex: Winter Park to Winter Park, Mary Jane to Mary Jane, etc. They work less reliably Winter Park to Mary Jane. Your condo at the Zephyr Mountain Lodge also makes an ideal rendezvous place. |
