Children 1st grade and older
I'm signing up my 7 year old for a day of ski school. This is his first time and I see that where it says 1st graders and older must be able to ride a chair lift without an adult. Is this easy for a child to do or am I over analyzing this statement? Help please?

Your 7 year old will be able to ride the lifts with no problem at all.

The staff will handle things appropriately so no need to worry.

I still worry and my boy is in 3rd grade. It's just what us parents do. But in reality there is really no reason to worry. They slow down the chairs for the kids when they are loading and unloading so it makes it really easy for them to get on and off. Just make sure you talk to the instructor and explain your situation. - I am pretty sure your son is capable but it might take one or two practice turns for him to feel comfortable (and you too!)

i think we are going to the Sheraton for the Christmas buffet. Others have suggested the Ore House, Cafe Diva alos. Yes book ahead of time. thats what i will be doing next week.
Usually kids don't want to wear the hood thing, but carry it in your pocket just in case. If it's really cold once you get on there on the slopes, I'll bet you big money that'll change.
Hard to predict of course but history is on your side. Be glad you didn't plan a trip around opening day at Vail today. They've got only one run open.
Temps have been great for snowmaking and we definitely have more snow this year than we had last year. I wouldn't worry, we tend to get dumped on in December.
Here's a good article about late starts and how the season turns out.
