My mom wants to take the family (mainly for grandkids) on a snow trip. They want to go over Christmas break this year, and since I’m the only one that ski’s, I am looking for some non-ski resort destinations that may be a bit easier on the budget.

Ideally would be somewhere easy to get to from MSY, has things for the kids to do (ages 3-9), and, obviously, will have snow in late December.

I’ve tried the Google machine but am struggling a bit, so thought I would see if the board could help….TIA!

Denver and SLC are easy jumps from MSY, could get to the snow easily.

Good call. Look at Frisco. Sledding right there. Breck only 10 minutes away for more shopping and dining options.

The Christmas lights at the Mormon Headquarters are amazing. Could stay in Salt Lake for a night then go to Park City for snow activities.

Spent this Christmas with my family in Leavenworth, WA and it was amazing. Sure it gets crowded, so you have to plan around that. There were a lot of activities and we all enjoyed it greatly. Highly recommend.

Stayed in Breck and did snow tubing in Vail. Was a fun day trip.

I’ve always skied Keystone.
Lots of non skiing activities.
I stay on the resort property but in the forest area. Condos are much cheaper and there is bus service.
