I always thought Winter Park was the best place to learn to ski. Have you looked into that ? The drive there is pretty great too.

I liked Copper , Vail and Keystone the best . Copper was my go-to for all the years I lived in Colorado.

I found it to be more expensive especially lodging. I ended up staying in Gunnison(cheaper lodging) and riding the bus 45 mins each way to and from the ski area. Flights to Denver are normally cheaper as well than to Gunnison. I can't remember what lift tickets cost as my season pass comes with 3 tickets there and I stopped at Costco in Denver on the way as they sell 2 for 1 lift tickets there.

Crested Butte though is isolated so crowds are significantly lower than your I-70 resorts but from my experience it will come at a higher cost.

The ski school at WP is my fav out of all the ones I've put my kids into. Cost was cheaper but I also felt they challenged them more to improve and they didn't just keep them at the bottom all day. My 4 year olds first ever day they had him on the lift going up to another beginner area which made it more enjoyable for him.
