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]

I’m one of the PPs who suggested Europe. I ski there every year. January/February tickets to Paris are not that expensive ($600 or so and often substantially less), particularly if you book in advance. Geneva is a bit more expensive, but not crazy, and is usually worth the premium if you are just skiing and not adding on a few days in Paris.

I usually fly AF and pay 35k points plus $200 or so in taxes for a round-trip economy ticket. I don’t think the cash price is that far off for a RT on a full service airline to SLC or Denver during ski season. Hotels are the same price or cheaper, and lift tickets, lessons, and food are SO much cheaper that you’re still saving money even if the airfare is a little more expensive. [/quote]
