Best overall beginner slopes in US ?
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? Thanks !!! |

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. Beaver Creek. It is nice for beginners to have that full alpine experience. snoig |

Do any of these slopes have chair lifts that completely stop at the top
to make it easy for beginners to get off? Thanks |

Finally, I should add that the best, least crowded terrain is often accessed from the gnarliest oldest lifts. My kids look at me like I am nuts when I tell them I learned how to ski off of a Poma.
