Default Ski Resorts Where Lifts Go Directly to Hotel

I am looking for (affordable) ski resorts in the Western US or Canada that
meet these criteria:

- The resort's ski lifts go directly to the hotel or condos (or within 100
yards)

- There are shops and restaurants within walking distance of lodging. A
place where non-skiiers could have something to do would be great.

- A group of 10 could get by on around $200/day (so no $700/night rooms
unless its a suite with lots of separate rooms).

Basically we are trying to avoid the hassle of needing to rent and drive
cars....

What locations / resorts come close to these requirements for a February
trip?

Just to clarify this, I meant a group of 10 could get by on $200/day *per
person*.

Vail. You should definitely go to Vail.

Glad we clear that up.

That describes a lot of ski resorts. The one I am most familiar with
is Squaw Mountain near Lake Tahoe in Calif. You do have to drive
there, unless you want to take a longish shuttle ride from Sacramento
or Reno airport to the resort.

Maybe Heavenly at South Lake Tahoe? Not my cup of beer, but maybe it's
your. Free shuttle from Reno airport to Casinos; cheap rooms in the
Casinos; lots to do for non-skiers; lift right to Casinos; big mountain.

Most of the other places with slope-side lodging and non-skier
entertainment are phony, more akin to carnivals than real living towns
- Vail and Park City (and most of the Colorado and Utah places) are
quintessential examples.

So I would recommend Breckenridge as a point of departure. I'd scout the
internet for rates and also Hotwire and Priceline. These folks at Blue
River Sports can give you a hand by calling their 800 number for any
question you may have. Ask for "Sody" or "Dave."

Blue Mountain near Collingwood Ont. and Holiday Valley in Ellicottville
NY both have facilities within a short walk of the hills.
