Concern about whistler was snow. I recall that its not always great low down early in season
Have skied Fernie. As kids likely to be in ski school I recall there were accessible runs for beginners which at least one of mine coukd navigate
I will look at Flecks suggestion. Not heard of it before
Would like to to revelstoke don't know about kid facilities
Really criteria are good kids ski school. As certain as possible snow at Xmas. If really lucky powder for me. Have plenty of steep stuff here - chamonix - but rarely get west coast snow.
Don't care about the cold as I sent 4 year old out to ski school on Tuesday and it was -19 in the resort ;) (france)
She loves it and does not seem to get whiny about being cold or being wet given the last 2 days were torrential rain.
I am going to look at all the suggestions.
I'd really like ski in ski out, not to long transfers as it will be a long trip for us anyway and reasonable lift passes.
Thanks
If you are looking at Silver Star, you could easily do a two mountain trip combining Big White and SS. Both great mountains, only a few hours apart. Almost all accom is ski in ski out
