[quote=Anonymous]Look at Copper Mountain for sure. The slopes are naturally segregated by ability level because of the terrain, so you will not be overrun by experts (or unsafe wannabes) trying to make their way down on top of you. Great ski school for kids, as well: you will be shocked how fast they progress - good luck keeping up. Why go out west if you are beginners? Because learning on narrow, icy slopes with way too many others in the east is no fun. Football field-wide slopes with fresh snow win every time. We fly into Denver, stay a night to get used to altitude, buy groceries either there or in Frisco, cook meals both by preference and to save money. VRBO has great deals (we especially like Copper One, and some of the owners include lift tickets in the cost). Copper One is ski in/ski out, which is a perk I would always prioritize with kids ... when they are done, they are DONE. And you still have to get them home. Christmas snow is iffy any where - Spring Break depends on the year. Be prepared to do other activities if you are unlucky. [/quote]
