Traveling with kids
Tips for the first timers
- About 2 min drive to river run free parking. Family with kids get priority parking spot.
- There are free wheelbarrows around the village for you to lug your skis/boots/skis.
- Once you are at the bottom of the Gondola, get your tickets and take the Gondola all the way to the top (there's a stop in the middle but it's for ski school only).
- For beginners, Scout and Endeavor are two easy trails. Schoolmarm is green but it's very long.
Traveling with kids
Tips for the first timers (2)
River run village parking lot let family park closer to the ski lift, kids need to be in the car to enjoy that benefit.
There are also little wagons provided free of charge in the parking lot. Put the kids in and pull them to the Gondola and return the wagon there.
