Solvista Basin

"Best kids' ski school deal!"

Having tried Vail, Winter Park, Steamboat and Keystone, I can definitely say that SolVista offers one of the best ski school deals in CO.  We enrolled our three kids in ski school, rented gear for all of them, and got lift tickets for my husband and I to mess around for the day, all for less than $260!  Granted, the area is not very big, so our skiing was somewhat limited, but it was easy to check in on the kids, who were having a fabulous time in lessons.  Lessons included snacks and hot cocoa breaks, lunch, and a variety of activities to keep them engaged all day.  My 3 year old boys had a larger group lesson on the magic carpet, while my daughter enjoyed semi-private lessons with just one other kid on the front slope of the mountain.  We plan to return often!
