Enjoyed this place as a family. It’s right on the slopes and caters to parents/children. The family rooms are awesome. I have never found the same here. There’s a little room with a bunk bed and you can close the door. Adult bedroom has a door too! Loved it!

But how with the cost of airfare? Flying to Paris, Munich etc is way more expensive than Denver. It also eats up two days of vacation time.

You can find reasonable accommodations at Beaver Creek, Breck, Park City etc. Buy 5-7 day Ikon or Epic day passes.

I don’t see how it’s cheaper to go to Europe when you have to begin by spending $5-10k on airfare for a family of four. It’s also a bad use of miles considering you can inexpensively fly to Denver. [/quote]

A 4 day Ikon pass is $600 for an adult.  That's $1200 for you and DH before the kids.  A family ski pass in St Johan in Tirol is $240 which is both parents and two kids.

Flights to MUC are pretty reasonable if you book well in advance and you can get supersaver airfares.  Food, lodging, and lessons are all cheaper there.

That's how.  I've done it for years (I'm the PP who mentioned it in a reply with a link to the hotel).  If you don't want to research it or go, don't.  But not only is it great skiing, it's a great cultural experience that can't be had in Colorado.

We go there in spite of the fact that we own a second home in a US Ski destination. So we do both, I definite can compare the experience and cost.
