1. Global Exchange Vacation Club Shares Suggestions for a Holiday on Skis
With any family trip, great planning is essential. If you're looking at taking your family on a Christmas ski
vacation it is necessary that you consider all of the costs involved and all the activities you and your
family want to do. The following is various tips and hints to help guide you in making decisions
informatively.
Location - Based upon on how long you want your vacation to be, there are a huge number of locations
all over the world that will cater for family skiing vacations. You may simply need a week away in the
states, or you might like to spend Christmas on the slopes in Switzerland. Your budget will let you know
what you can afford.
Accommodation – When you have decided where you intend to go, you will need to consider what type
of accommodation you and the family wants. If you are looking for nightlife, nearness to restaurants and
bars and easier access to transportation, rooms in the center of town are going to be your best choice. If
you desire a calmer, more relaxed atmosphere in which you are nearer to nature and revel in only the
company of wildlife as opposed to other holiday merrymakers, then check out the chalet on the edge of
town.
Transportation – Now that you have planned your destination and have booked your reservations, are
you going to fly, drive or take a train? If you plan to fly, will you be renting a car, using a taxi or shuttle
to get to your hotel? If you plan on renting a car at the airport, make sure you have arranged for the
rental when you booked your flight. If you’re taking a taxi or shuttle, how will you travel to and from the
ski lodge? Deciding your transportation choices ahead of time will allow for a more convenient
commute.
Clothing - It is especially important to take proper clothing on your winter ski vacation. Hopefully you are
enough of a ski buff to have the appropriate clothing and equipment already purchased. Renting ski
jackets, boots and skis is very expensive and you will need to plan accordingly if you don’t own your
gear. If you intend to rent your skis, check with the resort as to where you can rent your equipment and
how much the rental will cost. When purchasing ski suits and winter clothing for your family, be sure to
choose items that will keep you warm and dry. Choose colors that are bright for adequate visibility on
the slopes. With the dangers that are typical when skiing, it is essential that you take every precaution,
particularly with young children.
Equipment – When choosing ski equipment, it is important to know how everything should fit. Any
boots you buy should fit snugly because you can damage your feet and ankles if the wrong size is

activities also. Obtain some advice from a trainer or the proprietor of the shop you wish to lease from
before making any decisions.
Taking into account all of the above information, you and your family should be well on your way to
having a fantastic, trouble free Christmas skiing vacation. Have Fun navigating those slopes!
