I'm planning a family trip Feb 21-25 (3 adults two 13 yr. olds) to NE and need some friendly advice. I know conditions are poor and I want to make sure it's not a wasted trip. Only 2 of the adults will ski/snowboard and only one of the adults is above novice level. I'd like to choose a place that has a first rate ski/snowboard school, good restaurants & non-ski activities. Really looking for first class accomodations regardless of cost. Wanted to go out west due to conditions but can't take a whole week. Any suggestions on resort or accomodations would be much appreciated.
