Living in Southern California, we wanted to find a vacation spot that was an easy drive (11 hours), near a city that offered many different traveler options, an easy airport for guests to fly in and out of, nearby family, and a short, easy drive to the resort as my daughter suffered from acute care sickness as a child.
Having rented time-shares from friends over the years and seeing the benefit in traveling with children, we were very interested in investigating the very young Cliff Club one year while visiting family. After taking the tour and looking at the many options, we knew this would be a place we would not only enjoy using every year (and we usually do) but its high exchange value made it attractive as the three room/sleeps 10 lock out offered us a three week trade at any other resort. Another vision we had for buying at Snowbird was the ability to gift our children with a week anywhere in the world for a honeymoon which has become a reality.
We chose Snowbird because of its unique setting, incredible ski conditions and fantastic amenities. We never once worried about letting our triplets wander the facility, knowing it was child friendly and child safe. Snowbird also has a kids ski free policy for children under 6 and Chickadee ($40), the "bunny slope" right out of the ski lockers (heaters in the lockers for boots!) making it very easy for seasonal skiers to brush up on their skills without having to pay.
