Most of the other places are really great-if you already know how to ski! Take Aspen for example. That is a great place for beginner to kill themselves! Monarch mountain has great skiing, much cheaper hotels, and a great ski school. Add short lines and you have a perfect pace for beginner. I took my new bride there on our honeymoon because she had never skied before. Great choice. The down side was we drove about 3 hours to the slope from Pueblo. I think that this was actually one of the best parts of the trip, but some people **** the drive. We ended up staying in Canon City for 2 days of skiing and one day of site seeing. Royal gorge is beautiful. Then we drove through San Isabella National forrest and stopped at Bishop's Castle. Ended up in Roudiso NW for 3 extra days. Salida / Monarch mountain.

I've only heard good things about Winter Park, and it's closer ro Denver than most resorts. Another recommendation would be to try Crested Butte. It's a little bit longer drive than the major resorts along I-70 (Vail, Aspen, Beaver Creek) but they do offer free lift tickets in December, so if you don't mind the drive, you could save some money there, as well as have less crowds. And Wolf Creek is probably my favorite place to go skiing. The snow is unbelievable, and it's never crowded. But you'd have to find a place to stay in nearby Pagosa Springs and drive (15 miles) to the ski area. The Springs Resort has mineral hot springs on-site which are fantastic. You can even walk right into the San Juan River! Good luck and have fun. I would recommend Winter Park if you want to stay on the less expensive side.

A little cheaper is Vail. For mid ranged prices, there's Winter Park and Breckenridge. Wolf Creek is also nice, less ski runs but much less crowded(and built up), a bit isolated from what i recall of it. Aspen is always very, very nice (though a bit expensive).
