"Spring Skiing"

It is now Spring.  But, I'm thinking of taking my family on one more trip to the snow.  Last time we went, we had our son take a lesson at Squaw Valley (children must be at least three years old).  The website Red Tricycle has useful information on places to stay.

Among other possibilities, I'd like to take my son to Alpine Meadows to ski.  The snowfall this season has been astonishing -- they don't project closing down for the season until May 8, 2011!!!  Alpine Meadows has a kids camp for children ages 3-6, and another mainstream camp for kids 7-12.  Dates for the camps are April 4-9, April 11-16, and April 18-13.  For details see the Alpine Meadows Kids Programs website.
