    Putting on the Ritz in Ski Country

    ByEileen Ogintz March 10, 2011June 28, 2023

    Well-heeled families are opting for services that offer convenience — even delivery and pickup of ski and snowboarding gear to your hotel room and Black Tie Ski Rentals will even swap them out on the mountain too. Kids rent free till the end of the season and private family lessons are available for about $600 a day. “Parents want to see the kids learning,” explains Sue Way, director of Children’s Programs for the Aspen Skiing Company. They also love the convenience of having the ski instructor meet you at your hotel and tailoring the experience to your family.

    New digs and old favorites on Snowmass Mountain

    ByEileen Ogintz March 9, 2011June 28, 2023

    The restaurant at the luxe new Viceroy at Snowmass is the kind of place where the dinner menu includes exotic entrees over $30 and an extensive wine list. Yet last night nearly every other table was families with kids who likely were dining on organic chicken nuggets ($11), pizza with fresh mozzarella ($10) or cheeseburger ($11)

    First tracks on Aspen Mountain and staying in the Limelight

    ByEileen Ogintz March 8, 2011June 28, 2023

    Though this is a busy week—following President’s Day weekend—there are no lift lines at Aspen Mountain and it feels like on some runs we have the mountain—famous for its glades, bumps and steeps—to ourselves. If you want a day off from skiing, sign on for a two-hour guided snowshoe tour with a naturalist from the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies

    It happened at the Broadmoor – reliving an adolescent incident

    ByEileen Ogintz March 7, 2011June 28, 2023

    Was this young woman ever that difficult a teen we wondered as she showed off her college digs (yes, she admitted, she’d cleaned up just for our visit.) Vacations, of course, are a lot about memories. But there’s something to be said for returning to places where things might not have gone as planned—and let’s face it, they often don’t on family vacations.

    Too hot for you in Pompeii? Try Times Square

    ByEileen Ogintz March 7, 2011June 28, 2023

    f you can’t make it to Italy, you now have an alternative: Discovery Times Square has just premiered “Pompeii The Exhibit – Life and Death in the Shadow of Vesuvius” with Over 250 artifacts – includes some never-before-seen objects and the largest collection of body casts ever on display including a dramatic skeleton collection.

    Spa treatments on the slopes? You bet!

    ByEileen Ogintz March 4, 2011June 28, 2023

    Skiing these days isn’t only about skiing with an ever growing array of spa services, including some for teens and younger children. Take your pick of massages, scrubs, wraps and more. This trip may be a record for me — three Spas in a week.

    Ski Resorts aren’t just for skiing or snowboarding anymore

    ByEileen Ogintz March 3, 2011June 28, 2023

    I sent my crew — my daughter Mel and six of her college friends to check out Adventure Ridge — a veritable winter play ground at 10,350 feet atop the Eagle Bahn Gondola at Vail. There’s tubing. You can slide down the hill sitting on your big tube (couch potato style) or lay across it (Superman style). Couch Potato is scarier they declare.

    The huge Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas has everything

    ByEileen Ogintz March 3, 2011June 28, 2023

    The $11 million nightclub has everything — the latest technology, a DJ every night, young stars who stop by for meet and greets, specialty drinks, a cafe. Like the latest megaships, gargantuan Atlantis on Paradise Island, just 180 miles from Florida, with nearly 3,500 rooms and 8,000 employees — the largest employer in the Bahamas besides the government — wants to be all things to all vacationers, including those not old enough to vote
