I really need some advice for taking our children snow sking in Minnesota. Our sons would like to go snow sking for 5 days the last week of December and we have heard in general that there are good areas in Minnesota to ski. Our boys are ages 16 and 14 and they ski at different levels; Intermediate Beginner and Intermediate Advancd. We want to fly into Minneapolis and find a good ski area within about 50 miles distance of the airport. I plan on going to MOA and doing some shopping while they are on the ski slopes. Any suggestions will be helpful. Thanks!

Hi, I'm not a skier but there is a slope called Buck Hill in the metro area. Also there is a ski hill in the Kimball, MN. area that is about 70 miles from the airport, named Powder Ridge.. If you are willing to drive to the north shore of Lake Superior there are a lot of slopes. Enjoy your trip, ziggypop
