Can you guys tell me what ski resports in the US are the best for
beginners? Are there any like this?

Multiple long, wide easy beginner slopes.

Fast idiot proof beginner ski lifts.

Not busy during weekdays.

Within a couple of hours of a major city for Airport access so we can
get there in a timely manner.

What else am I missing?


It may be hard to believe, but Squaw Valley has great beginner slopes at
High Camp, just as you describe - "Multiple long, wide easy beginner
slopes. Fast idiot proof beginner ski lifts. Not busy during weekdays."
Reno International is ~45 min/mi away, all good roads.

PLUS uncomparable scenery, AND it's at the top of the tram (take the
tram down if you're a real beginner) so the beginner can feel a full
part of the skiing experience.

I don't know of another major resort with the beginner slopes on the top
of the mountain, with the best snow.
