Family Ski Trip Planning: Childcare Solutions & 2026 Winter Olympics Preview with Writer Annie Fast

In this episode Annie Fast (https://anniefast.contently.com/) , Oregon-based freelance writer and former professional snowboarder, joins the Ski Moms to discuss two critical barriers facing ski families: accessible childcare at resorts and mothers competing at elite levels. Annie's investigative work for Ski Area Management (https://www.saminfo.com/) revealed a troubling trend of resort daycare closures post-COVID, including Vail's Small World, Jackson Hole, and Bridger Bowl facilities, while highlighting success stories at Mount Bachelor (https://www.mtbachelor.com/amenities-...) , Mount Hood Meadows, Brundage, and Tamarack (https://tamarackidaho.com/basecamp) with year-round programs. She explains why finding childcare information on resort websites is nearly impossible and how this impacts both visiting families and employee retention. Annie also previews her coverage of the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics (https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&pf=1...) , spotlighting Olympic moms competing with young children and the challenges of decentralized venues. The conversation covers practical advocacy tips for ski families, the reality of split-day skiing for toddlers, and why true "family-friendly" resorts must offer guest childcare.  Keep up with the latest from Annie! • Website: https://anniefast.contently.com • Insta SHOP HERE (https://rstyle.me/+zKU9tDlb103QuS-y6f...)
