Basically, Id shoot for the less big name options bc its gonna be packed at most resorts.

And I think largely wasted on first time skiers. The reason to go to places like vail are largely wasted in a first time skier.

For a true learn to ski trip that also won’t blow the budget I always recommend people look at ski Cooper. It’s small, but incredibly beautiful, minimal lines and a great place for beginners to just go up and down all day and learn. If after a few days the kids have some basic ability and want some new terrain do a day pass at any of the I-70 resorts.
