Vermont has a number of excellent ski areas for families, which offer challenging slopes for serious enthusiasts, as well as gentle ones for beginner s and kids just starting out. All the major ones have kids’ lessons and clinics, the majority of which are offered to kids beginning at around age 3. Our favorite Vermont Family Ski Resorts for families include Killington, Stowe Mountain, Okemo, Smuggler’s Notch, Mt. Snow and Sugarbush.
