The Snow Trip – Whistler

Just because you have an infant doesn’t mean you have to kiss your snow trips goodbye. In fact, if you go to a family friendly resort with childcare in place, both Mom and Dad will be able to hit the slopes. Not sure where to go? Try Whistler Blackcomb (www.whistlerblackcomb.com) in British Columbia, Canada. Besides the opportunity to ski or snowboard on over 8,000 acres of snow on a renowned ski resort, you also have access to a vast array of restaurants from pizzerias to French cuisine.
Families can choose from just about every type of accommodation available – large hotels, bread and breakfasts, condos, and vacation homes are abundant in the area. Many of them are within walking distance to shops, places to eat, and skiing gondolas.

The best part? CPR certified early childhood educators will watch your kids who are anywhere from three months to four years old. Because of the popularity of the childcare program, parents do have to reserve a spot early, so it’s best to plan your trip as far in advance as possible.
