Aspen day and evening care plus snow ski schools and babysitting.
Families with pre-school children needing care would probably be wisest to choose Snowmass as their base, where organised off-slope activities for families are often staged and there's a fenced in sledging area at the Cross-Country ski centre. Snowcubs offers slope-side daycare for kids aged 6 weeks up here too. The Nighthawks program offers evening childcare with sledding, arts, crafts and video for children aged 3 to 12. Aspen has several babysitting agencies on call. Skiing begins with Big Burn Bears from age three and a half and there's a rare (for children aged under 7) 'boarding tuition offer for children aged under 5 - 'Bears on Boards'. From then on up there's a run of different programs for different ages, abilities and on-snow interests. Children from aged 7 to 12 up pay $35 a day for lift tickets, which compares poorly with children's lift ticket prices in leading resorts elsewhere in the world, if not in Colorado. A special trail map is available showing runs particularly well suited to children, including special gentle kids' trails through the woods and there's a special alcohol-free teenagers' bar in the town.
4 stars out of 5 overall
If your child is aged between 8 weeks to 4 years, they are eligible for enrolment into the Aspen Snowmass Childcare. Located in Snowmass, this childcare facility isn’t a place children go reluctantly – the Treehouse Kid’s Adventure Center is probably one of the coolest, safest and most fun childcare centres we’ve ever seen, with interactive rooms aimed at specific ages to make sure your child is in the best possible environment. It’s not going to be a case of getting them in, but more a case of getting them to leave.
