Vacation In The Snow: Ron Pollack

We are leaving for 2 weeks of snow in Utah. We give them lots of DVD and Nintendo time -- something they don't normally get at home,the kids are electrified: they love going on the plane. And I love the plane too: once everyone is settled into their seats, with their electronic entertainment, I get to sit back, nap, and read a book. Absolutely no CNBC.  Bloomberg, no. No telephone. No email. Since moving from Colorado to Utah, this is the first ski day we took as a family. Mimi has been working hard for a long time to get us ready for this trip. I hope all her hard work pays off.  We had everything totally "dialed in" in Vail; now it's like starting over. But once we figure out the logistics like where do we drop the kids, what time do we pick them up, what can we do with them after the ski day is over, and where do I go to find/replace their lost mittens, goggles, hats, etc? I am positive it will all turn out fine. I'm dying to see Rachel on skis. We tried last year, but she was only 2 and hadn't started preschool yet, so it was a bit rough. She was not ready to attend ski school. She is going to be very cute and it should make it alot easier this year.
