For a week long trip...Tahoe hands down. You could ride a different mountain each day. This can be done in Summit County as well. But he asked cheap so I think he means driving. NM is the best, closest, cheapest option. No reason to drive right past 6 resorts to go to Colorado. Even if you are hardcore blacks expert like myself, Taos. I have never been but it is top of the line for hardcore chutes, steeps, trees and above treeline.Last edited by Burntorange Bowhunter; 01-16-2013, 01:30 PM.

Ski Apache in Ruidoso is an excellant driving family trip. Shortest drive of all. We get there way early and there is a place where you can back your truck right up to a 4 ft snowbank right by the bunny hill. We throw out some lawn chairs, a cooler and a grill. Slopeside fajitas and cheep beer. water and soft drinks for the kids. Easy to meet back. You always know where to meet. Ski in/out to the truck.

Not too terribly concerned about what I pay for lift tickets but do want to get as much bang for my buck as possible.
If I can avoid renting a car, get a ski-in ski-out and not get killed on restaurant food, then I'll pay a lil more at the lift.
My knees aren't what they used to be so I'm not really looking for "steep and deep". Just enough room for me to crash and burn and not hurt anybody, besides myself.
First and foremost, I want the most enjoyable time for my kiddos.

I grew up spending every Christmas or spring break skiing Vail. It is the ultimate in Colorado, but you will pay a premimum. I went to Steamboat Springs every year of college and that would be my first choice. I haven't been in 15 years so ALOT may have changed but the croweds were small and the price was decent.
