Book excerpt: Find the Perfect Family Resort! Family-travel experts Janet Tice and Jane Wilford have selected the 100 best - not necessarily the most expensive - family resorts located throughout the United States and Canada. They have included information on ski lodges, beach resorts, dude ranches, lakeshore cottages, country inns, and more. Gather your family and treat yourselves to a vacation to remember in: Smugglers' Notch, Vermont, where you will enjoy ski trails on three interconnected mountains while the kids try ski and snowboard lessons, snow soccer, and races at Smugglers' Notch Resort. Duck Key, Florida, where the younger crowd can frolic in the sun at the Islands Adventure Club while older siblings are pampered at the teen spa at Hawk's Cay Resort. Santa Fe, New Mexico, where your family will enjoy a sunset horseback ride through the canyons and foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains near the Bishop's Lodge Resort. Huntsville, Ontario, where the youngest to the oldest sports enthusiast will love the opportunities for golf, tennis, kayaking, skiing, and even dogsledding at Deerhurst Resort.
