I hear you all on this... but the above ain't gonna happen.
It sounds like the man wants to find a way, any way, for his wife to keep agreeing to have a family ski trip (so he can ski). I would be willing to bet the wife would squash an expensive trip skiing if she weren't going on it, as they likely pass it off as their family vacay. Which would then mean the OP couldn't go skiing period.
No woman would complain about 4 days in Aspen (snowmass). She can dress and act the part, and blend with the celebrities that all vacation there.

But why? That's their only family vacation? OP has been to multiple normal locations. Its not like they went to West Virginia or New Mexico.
Furthermore, if the wife is shopping while everyone else is hitting the slopes how much of a family vacation is it really?
I go on guys trips without the wife and kids a couple times a year: hunting, camping, fishing, etc. My wife goes on a girls trip here and there to a concert or whatever. I have 3 daughters, I have no issues with them going on a trip somewhere I don't care to go.
If you go somewhere like skiing to a place that doesn't make sense for anyone but the person that doesn't ski...why?
Also, it sounds like OP needs to man up. If the wife doesn't like the outdoors and just wants to have coffee, shop, go to the spa, and have a nice wine and dinner you can do that in every ski resort in the country for 3 days. If she can't enjoy herself for a ski trip while the rest of the family has a blast skiing, seems like she's the one that needs to figure some things out.
