We are a skiing family. Since we live 3 hours from lake tahoe, we share a house with another family up there for the winter (a ski lease) and our kids participate on the Sugar Bowl Ski Team. It takes up our Christmas break/ski week and almost every weekend from December – early April. The kids have small groups led by coaches and our 8 year old is almost as good as us now after 3 years on team. The best part is the parents get to ski together while they are off learning and we put the 3 year old in a day care/mini ski club all day. It’s like having a ski date every weekend. It’s not cheap but it is a priority. Check out your local ski areas for similar teams, this seems to be a growing trend.
However, if you are not that hard core, I looked through some of the various ski web sites and this one seems to have the most deals for skiing:
