In this episode the Ski Moms are joined by Heather Nelsen, a creator who writes about travel and motherhood. Heather is from Roswell, Georgia, not a typical ski hub, but her family has made skiing a tradition. They started taking ski trips to Utah when Heather was first married, and now bring their 4 kids (ages 5-10) on ski trips every year.

Heather shares some great tips for outfitting the family on a budget, using Costco and consignment gear. To make meals easy and affordable, the family stays in condos and uses grocery delivery services. Heather's in-laws often join the trips, creating awesome multi-generational memories on the slopes. Heather encourages families to dive into ski trips, highlighting the benefits that go well beyond just skiing.

After a day on the slopes, the family enjoys cozy time together playing card games and board games like Uno, and Pass the Pig. Heather and her husband unwind with a glass of wine while the kids play. 

We loved Heather's positive attitude and adaptability are key to successful family ski trips. Getting the whole family, including grandparents, invested in the ski tradition has created lasting memories. And family meals and games in the condo make for quality family time off the slopes.
