[quote=Anonymous]I've been to JH and would not recommend it for a kid's first time.  I love JH but one needs to be a more experienced skier to have a good time on the mountain.  OTOH, we had a great dogsledding adventure when we went to JH.  Wyoming is beautifu, as are most ski areas. It may be the same price as Tremblant to get to but JH for everything else is pricier than many other places, and that is saying something when we are talking about ski resorts.

I haven't been to Tremblant but I do know that East Coast skiing is icy, in general.  I don't know if those are the best conditions to learn to ski either.

I would look at Alta(not Snowbird) or Solitude and Brighton in Utah.  Those mountains have lots of terrain for beginners.  Solitude has lots of lodging available in the form of condos right in the village. Alta has lodging in the form of hotels that are a bit pricy but include breakfast and dinner in a fairly decent restaurant.  We've stayed at the Goldminer's Daughter.  Park City is also an option with a great ski town but the mountain itself has issues, mostly due to the management. Also, the Utah resorts have the advantage of being really close to SLC.

Another option I would recommend is Steamboat Springs CO.  You can fly into Denver and take a shuttle or rent a car to get to Steamboat.(3 hours from Denver and you need an AWD car)  Steamboat has a fantastic ski school for beginners.  There are also lots of options for lodging hotels or condos or houses.  Steamboat is also a great ski town. You can fly into Steamboat but it is more expensive.  I do believe that one of the airlines has a non-stop directly to Steamboat out of IAD during the winter.  It may only fly on certain days.
