Wife and I taking kiddos skiing for the first time. Have narrowed down choices to colorado or new mexico. Went to Taos about 10 yrs ago and remember it didnt seem kid-friendly. Went to Red River a few times but that was over 20 yrs ago. Thought I'd check with the GS for some suggestions...kid friendly, good parking or ski-in/ski-out, decent lift prices and equip rental, etc?

I went to Taos last year and took my daughter. She was 2.5 at the time so she couldn't ski. We loved the place and their kids center was great. The mountain is more difficult and if it's your first time to ski it is advisable not to go to the top of the mountain as there is no "easy" way down. We are headed to Keystone in February for a week. I started skiing there when I was 9 (I'm 35 now). It is awesome for kids and families. Check out their kid's activities at www.keystoneresort.com.

Vail is the best everything, hands down, other than it is pricey! Staying in the village is very nice.
Copper is another good choice!
The further south in Colorado the cheaper.
Durango, Wolf Creek, etc. but you get what you pay for.
Are you driving or flying?
Picking up skis on the drive in is cheaper than getting them at the mountain.
Also buying lift tickets and arranging lessons can be bought cheaper ahead of time.
Do not skip the lessons for any first timers.

Re: Skiing on Spring Break?
X2 on winter park, although it's proximity to Denver/Boulder makes it pretty crowded on the weekends.Last edited by The Crippler; 01-15-2013, 09:59 PM.
