Snowmass is a top destination for families during spring break. Why? Because there are fun activities for every family member―morning, noon, and night. Snowmass Mountain has ski runs for every level of skier; families can ride a snowcat to a rustic cabin for sing-along dinners; Ullr Nights offers everything from snow tubing to a fire show; then, there’s Very Important Kid (VIK) Snowmass, which treats kids like VIPs with fun, daily activities.
Discover what a family spring break vacation in Snowmass can be. Check out a sample family ski vacation itinerary below.
Day 1

Day 2
Morning ― Whip up a hearty breakfast in the fully-stocked kitchen. You sent us your grocery list, so we made sure that the kitchen was ready upon your arrival.
