you should just leave the wife at home.


I hear you all on this... but the above ain't gonna happen.

But why? That's their only family vacation? OP has been to multiple normal locations. Its not like they went to West Virginia or New Mexico.

Furthermore, if the wife is shopping while everyone else is hitting the slopes how much of a family vacation is it really?

I go on guys trips without the wife and kids a couple times a year: hunting, camping, fishing, etc. My wife goes on a girls trip here and there to a concert or whatever. I have 3 daughters, I have no issues with them going on a trip somewhere I don't care to go.

If you go somewhere like skiing to a place that doesn't make sense for anyone but the person that doesn't ski...why?

Also, it sounds like OP needs to man up. If the wife doesn't like the outdoors and just wants to have coffee, shop, go to the spa, and have a nice wine and dinner you can do that in every ski resort in the country for 3 days. If she can't enjoy herself for a ski trip while the rest of the family has a blast skiing, seems like she's the one that needs to figure some things out.
