If you have little ones in your ski crew you might be interested in Whistler Blackcomb’s new “Family Certified Route” which they recommend to skiers and snowboarders of all ability levels:
“If you’re three feet tall, the wonder of Whistler Blackcomb is supersized. Take your folks on a tour of the kid-only secret places, where wonder lives large. After all, we were all kids once.”
Pretty clever to have some on-hill destination for kids to look forward to and easy paths linked together for them to ski there. While not everyone will be a fan of castles and tree forts on ski slopes, those with munchkins in tow might find it awesome:
