Skiing holidays with children can be exhausting. However, there are resorts aimed at serving families and allowing parents to rest for a while thanks to thoughtful planning.

Especially for USA TODAY Travel team ZRankings created this ranking of North American ski resorts. Experts have traveled all the major places of winter recreation, including with children.

Another unpleasant moment during a family ski holiday is the movement of children from the car (or hotel, or at home) to the slopes. Usually mom and dad carry their equipment, children's things, and in some cases the children themselves. And that's not all: small children find it difficult to walk in snowmobiles, so the transition from car to ski lift can take forever.
