US: Rocky Mountains - Ski Season News from Top Rocky Mountain Resorts. Vail Colorado Kids SkiingColorado, Utah, and Wyoming have prepared for the coming snow season with  activities and amenities that engage and inspire from Fresh Tracks and heli-skiing to hut trips, ziplines.

Here’s the scoop. Forget amusement parks and video games; young travelers are more sophisticated than previous generations, and they're looking for activities and amenities that engage and inspire. And several resorts in the Rockies have embraced the challenge offering more for families. From private guides that take skiers to secret parts of a mountain to Fresh Tracks, heli-skiing, hut trips, and ziplines. The extra benefits are pretty cool.
 
I am passing on pre season highlights because the sooner you get a plan a snowy getaway the easier it is to make it happen. 
 
Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort and Spa: Located in the heart of Beaver Creek, at one of Colorado's most celebrated mountain resorts, Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort and Spa is a 190-room resort offering Beaver Creek's only true ski-in, ski-out access. Beaver Creek Resort provides access to 146 runs on 1,805 acres of skiable terrain and lift tickets interchangeable at nearby Vail Ski Resort. Wait for it ! Parents traveling with teens know how hard it is to find anything that grabs their interest, other than their phones and, just maybe, The Food Network which is why Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort and Spa and the culinary team from 8100 Mountainside Bar & Grill are launching weekly, complimentary, teen-focused cooking classes inspiring teens to trade texting for chopping. Classes will include themes such as basic knife skills, gourmet pizza making, sushi rolling, cold weather "mocktails" and lessons on how to make barista style coffees at home.
 
Destination Hotels & Resorts:  With nearly 40 independent, upscale hotels and resorts, Destination Hotels & Resorts is the fourth largest hospitality management company in the country and boasts the largest collection of mountain properties in the U.S. New this season: The collection just launched a bucket-list style travel program, the Destination Dream List, and mountain resorts are introducing exclusive adventure packages. Highlights include:

Manor Vail Lodge in Vail, CO. Backcountry Hut Trip- Ski or snowshoe through the Rockies to a 10th Mountain Division hut.

Vail Cascade, Vail, CO. Blue Sky, Cloud Nine Vail Ski Package. There is no bigger rush than laying down first tracks on a mountain. Blue Sky, Cloud Nine gives snow enthusiasts the exclusive opportunity to shred Vail's pristine white powder.
