I remember spending the days outside both in ski school and skiing with my family and nights were spent playing games or night skiing or in a pool or hot tub. Looking back now I realize that I don't remember tv playing a roll at all in these vacations and that I was never bored!
We were fortunate to try several ski locations such as Searchmont in Sault Ste Marie, Mont-Sainte-Anne in Quebec or Smugglers' Notch in Vermont. I loved skiing right up to our chalet door and popping in for a hot chocolate or a snack. It was always a great feeling at the end of the day to put your feet up by the fire with tired legs and a wind burned face from racing down the mountain for hours each day. We often traveled with my friend's family and I laugh now thinking about the hilarious songs she and I used to make up as we rode up on the chairlift or of course as we got older, scoping out the slopes for cute boys!

My oldest child is now at the age where we could get him on skis, although I think we will wait one more year so that we can get both kids on skis at the same time. I hope as a family that my husband, kids and I are able to enjoy ski vacations and make memories of outdoor and active fun together. It's been awhile since I've been on skis, but I can't wait to get back out there. After years and years of great skiing memories I would love to bring the sport back into my life.
How did you and your family spend March Break when you were growing up?
