I would look at Breckenridge/Dillon area. Dillon has a nice Outlet Mall, and there are several ski areas nearby, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain and Keystone. Both towns have good restaurants and clubs. The prices are a bit more reasonable than places like Aspen and Vail. You will however pay a lot for a pool. An indoor pool costs a small fortune to heat in winter in Colorado and the cost will be passed on to you. You might want to try snowshoeing as well as skiing. It is slower, less demanding, and you get to actually see the scenery. Snowshoes are available for rental and there are lots of great trails in the area..If you can be there before Feb 7, attend the International Snow Sculpture Championships which will be taking place in Breckenridge. It is totally amazing. Well worth seeing!http://www.townofbreckenridge.com/index.��
Vail or Breckenridge are real good places to go skiing, and are real fun towns. They also have nice places to stay in and places to throw your money around. Enjoy!
Totally agree with Dillon. Its way pretty up there, with easy access to many mountains, including Vail. Telluride is really nice too...and kinda pain in the azz to get to. Just getting there is an accomplishment.
