Stuart-

But Vail is SO cool and your ski pass is good at Beaver Creek where the famous Birds of Prey run is! And there are some good deals to be had in the Vail valley area--you just have to shop around. Being a Coloradan for 21 years, I can tell you that half of Denver does NOT ski at Vail, there are too many other places... Copper Mountain, Breckenridge, Keystone/A-Basin, WinterPark (great kids program, but don't know about infant daycare), and of course the other biggies are Aspen, Telluride, and the wonderful Purgatory ski area down in Durango.

Some of these places have GOT to have daycare programs and IMHO, the Colorado Rocky Mountain ski resorts are just THE BEST. If you'd like more info about the Vail valley ski areas (Vail, Beaver Creek, Arrowhead), message me offline and I can help you with more detailed info.

Wherever you end up, be safe and have fun.

Vail in Colorado, USA has a day care center that takes kids as young as two months. If you're looking for a glitzy resort with long lift lines, overpriced food, and thousands of self-absorbed rich people you can't do much better than Vail.

Big Sky resort in Montana, USA takes kids as young as 6 months. Big Sky isn't as glitzy as Vail but (unfortunately) they're trying really hard to catch up.

Both resorts have excellent ski mountains. At Vail you'll have to share the slopes with half of Denver. At Big Sky you'll have to share the slopes with about half of Bozeman. The other half, including me, ski at Bridger Bowl.

I'm sure there are lots of other resorts that'll take care of infants. Just check out their web sites.

A quick diversion from all those important technical questions that trouble us every day.

I am planning a skiing trip to North America for March 2001, I think either Whistler or Stowe are favourites at the moment (any comments). The trouble is my darling daughter who will be 9 months old next March. I need to find somewhere that will cater for crhche facilities for children this young. The few that I have contacted have said that they only look after children from 18mths +. There must be some of you who have dumped your kids to go off skiing, can you give me some advice / contacts.

Sorry for distracting you all from your work, especially if you live nowhere near North America :-)

TIA Stuart
