Recommendations to ski in Colorado for novices (two families w/ kids between 7 and 10 yrs)
Two families are traveling to Colorado from March 28 to April 5 , 2012. We have almost no experience skiing ( 4 days in Argenita two years ago). We would like a recommendation of a good place to ski considering the following:
We are 4 adults and 5 kids ( 6, 8 and 10 yrs old)
Basic knowledge
Looking for activities for kids and other activities for families when not skiing
We dont have a tight budget so, looking for a nice place to stay
Keystone and Breckridge are the two recommendations I have so far but I dont understand yet the pros and cons of each place.
Thanks

I would echo Keystone and Breckenridge. Keystone feature is wonderfully groomed slopes. Beaver Creek is also a good possibility.
I agree with Keystone, Family oriented and great customer service. Wide variety of terrain which if I remember correctly keeps the different levels on their own portion of the mountain
If budget is truly not an issue, I would seriously consider Snowmass. It will cost more that Keystone or Breck, but if you can afford to stay "slope-side" you will have a fanstastic time!
Snowmass tends to be less crowded because it is too far from Denver for a day trip. They have excellent programs for the kids, and endless easy runs to learn on.
