Where would be a great place to go skiing with a 6-year old where I can rent a room with a kitchen and not need a car to get to the slopes? Any ideas? TIA.

- Any ski resort will probably have ski-in-ski-out condos or commuter buses to and from local hotels. We like Okemo in Vermont personally.

  - My family (minus me) rented a ski-in-ski-out condo at Okemo last year and loved it. Our son was 5 at the time and really enjoyed the kids' classes. They got him skiing on his own in a day! Nice kitchen, big fireplace :)

      - That's right :) Catching up on sleep and going out sans kids was great!

- Stein Erickson Lodge at Deer Valley if you can spend $ (they have small suites with kitchens). You will not need a car at all (they have a hotel shuttle into park city). It's actually not terribly expensive, depending on when you go (especially considering that flights into Salt Lake City are cheap). I think we paid about $350/night for a junior suite last year with a full kitchen towards the end of the season. Was like a studio apartment, and would have been perfect for two adults and a child.

  - Stratton has a shuttle from most places on the Mtn.

  - It's not really ski-in, ski-out (more like tram-in, tram-out, unless you want to pick your way through the wiped-out beginners, snowboarders and many rocks on the extremely long and treacherous ski-out). Wouldn't do this with a young child or a beginner. -np
