Granby Ranch is a place where family-friendly isn’t just a catchphrase, it’s part of our DNA. We deliver Colorado skiing and riding for less than other mountain resorts, and with a trail network that starts and ends at Base Lodge, it’s easy for families of all abilities to play together. Our full-service reservations department can help you build a customized trip itinerary that’s right for you and your family. Choose from a variety of lodging options and purchase tickets, rentals and snow school.Best Gear for Keeping Families Warm. There are plenty of places to cut corners and save money on Colorado’s ski slopes but having quality gear is not among them. Our must-haves include these Smartwool Merino 250 Base Layer Top and Bottoms, Hestra Classic 3-Finger Snow Glove (also available in junior sizes), Minus33 Merino Wool Balaclava, and Obermeyer’s I-Grow Ski Jackets and Pants which provide a simple way to lengthen the sleeves and cuffs of your child’s jackets and pants (our quickly-growing kids could wear them 2-3 seasons!) Columbia has a similar line of expandable winter jackets for kids. Nothing kills a good ski day like having a whining, cold child so be sure to have a bulk supply of hand warmers available (and you can even find rechargeable hand warmers that are like a portable pocket heater).
