Recently went to Keystone and Steamboat. I don't have kids myself, but noticed right away how well the Steamboat staff worked with kids.

As mentioned in earlier post - if you're flying forget about NM, it would be a pain. You might want to check out Salt Lake City. Easy to fly in/out of...you can stay up in the mountains if you want, or in the city (less expensive). There's a bunch of spots to ski up Big Cottonwood or Little Cottonwood canyons or you can drive over to Park City to get the full-on tourist/Colorado-type ski experience!

FYI- You just can't count on the snow 100% Springbreak in New Mexico. That being said Red River town is better than AngelFire but I like sking at Angel Fire better for kids.
Taos is not near as kid friendly because of tough terrain, but there are no snowboards.(atleast the last time we were there}
In Summit county Co.,you can always find snow.
Holiay Inn at Dillon always has rooms for $99. Has indoor pool for the kids. You are centraliy located. You can hit Keystone, Breck, Copper, A Basin, Vail.
To compare a ski in/out lodging in Breck would be atleast $500 per nite.

New Mexico has a few neat places; Angelfire, Red River, Ski Apache. The problem with NM, (esp if you have to plan in advance for certain dates, i.e. spring break) is that you never know if there is going to be enough snow. All those neat places I mentioned above suck without enough snow.
Do yoursels a favor and go to CO! Durango is a neat place, as is Wolf Creek and Winterpark.

Taos and Breck currently both have a base in the mid 30's. It can be hit and miss anywhere. Typically lake Tahoe gets some of the deepset snow of all yet last year was a horrible year. The northern NM spots usually do OK. Apache, the furthest southernmost resort in the US has alot of bad years but they have good snowmaking and some good blues and blacks at the bottom.
