Winter Getaways
The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi have finished, and March Break has come to an end. Were your kids watching the different winter Olympic activities, such as skiing and snowboarding, and wishing they could do the same winter activities? Have you and your kids already tried these activities, and want to give them another go?
A winter getaway can be the perfect time for the family to take a road trip. Across North America, there are plenty of quality ski resorts available for your family to facilitate. With many award winning resorts to choose from, we have narrowed down your search to a select few, and have created some Road Tripper maps for you to download. Each map is created for a different resort, and will also include some other activities for your family to enjoy while staying at, or near, the resort.
