do you know how many ski or/and mountain resorts there are in Colorado?

My husband and I want to try something different. We went to Vegas in June and had a good time, but I want to find something more romantic to do. Neither of us has ever been skiing before, but we really want to try something out of the norm. I am thinking of a romantic five night trip sitting in front of the fire sipping on cocoa and eating marshmallows. We would rent a car so we could take a tour of the city.

Any suggestions? Nothing that is ridiculously expensive. We will be flying out of DFW.

I already know Eldora is about 18 miles away but what other ski resorts are there that are pretty close?

I am planning a trip in early February to Colorado to see snow for the first time, and to learn how to ski. I hear Ski resorts are fun and I would like some insight on some of the better ski resorts and their location. Thanks.
