4. The snow itself varies. It's sort of luck. I would go for Vail or Breckenridge. They're usually great skiing and have fun towns. If you want to throw money around, Aspen and Telluride are trendier, but the skiing isn't really better.
5. You can find a great place in Vail´s Resort also you can try winter park resort in both have a lot of activities for kids... but in vail you can find more fun activities good luck and have a blast!
6. I really like Breckenridge. They have a lot of runs that cover every ability. They are also reasonably priced compared to vail and aspen... A few others to try would be A-Basin, Keystone, Copper Mountain, and Winter Park. Loveland is closest to Denver but COLD!!! The way it's situated on the mountain = WIND.
