[quote=Anonymous]I once started on thread on here about a week long trip to Park City and another poster broke down the expense - with 2 kids in ski camp, lift tix and rentals for us, 7 nights at a condo, rental car and airfare it would have cost something like $7000 (not the 3 to 4000 I was shooting for.) Utah is where Californians go for really great snow. 
You could look into Lake Tahoe. Variety of flight choices (Reno, Sacramento, Oakland, SFO, San Jose) and lots of accomodations (somewhere like Squaw Valley?) There are family friendly slopes at Soda Springs, Sugar Bowl, and of course the scenery is nice.  
They usually offer a multi-mountain pass for resorts along the Colorado Route 70 corridor (Keystone, Arapahoe, Loveland). A big place like Breckenridge or Beaver Creek will have everything you need and you can take a shuttle bus from Denver. Personally I like to mix a little hot springs and sight seeing into my ski week so I've been researching places like The Avalanche Ranch. 
My friend recommended Snowmass for family skiing and lessons, you can still do Aspen for shopping and lunch but the slopes at Aspen are not for beginners.  The Obamas just went to Buttermilk.
