LUDLOW, Vt. - Forbes.com listed their top picks in an article and slide show titled “10 Best Ski Resorts for Families.” Okemo Mountain Resort claimed the fifth position in the top-ten list and Okemo was the first eastern resort named. Stowe Mountain Resort was also ranked in the top 10 making Vermont second only to Colorado in the number of top family-friendly resorts.

Keeping families connected isn’t easy with busy work schedules, school sports and a variety of recreational interests. Okemo owes its understanding of family needs to resort operators Tim and Diane Mueller, who raised their children on snow. Their reputation for creating excellence in family experiences sets Okemo apart from other resorts. The couple’s personal touch is everywhere and is one of the reasons why the resort is a family favorite.

The Forbes article lists criteria for what makes a ski resort family friendly. Author Larry Olmstead lists excellent ski instruction, good deals on tickets and rental equipment, activities for non-skiing members of the family, plus off-slope family entertainment and activities, family-friendly dining and accommodations.
