Four ski areas in New England have been named among the 12 best family resorts in America and Canada.

“The best ski resorts for families are usually the ones that offer on- and near-mountain lodging, ski schools with a variety of programs, beginner- and intermediate-friendly terrain, and some quality non-ski activities, too,” a report published by The Points Guy stated.

Smugglers’ Notch Resort in Vermont, Stowe Mountain in Vermont, Jay Peak in Vermont, and Bretton Woods in New Hampshire all landed on The Points Guys’ list.

Smugglers’ Notch is known as “America’s Family Resort,” offering snowshoeing, tubing, swimming, ice skating, bingo, and magic shows in addition to skiing.

Stowe has a world-class ski school and an outdoor ice rink, while Jay Peak is home to an indoor water park, arcades, and an indoor ropes course.

Bretton Woods offers fat-tire snow biking trails, sleigh rides, and snow tubing, among other activities.

The list of the 12 best family resorts is as follows:

  • Beaver Creek Resort, Colorado

  • Keystone Resort, Colorado

  • Snowmass, Colorado

  • Copper Mountain, Colorado

  • Deer Valley Resort, Utah

  • Northstar California Resort, California

  • Smugglers’ Notch Resort, Vermont

  • Stowe, Vermont
