1. copper this is where i learned and they treat u so well and u learn a lot it also has a mountain just for noobs
2. you shouldnt go to calorado to learn to ski. CO. is only great because they have so much to go on but you might as well go to a cheap mountain to learn cuz youll only be on the bunny hill for your vacation
3. I agree with Cucumber. Copper Mountain is a good place to start. If you decide to go there take the American Flyer all the way up and take 'Coppertone' down. Coppertone is a very very long beginner slope (green circle) Another resort is Beaver Creek, if you decide to go there take the Centennial Express all the way up and 'Cinch' down. Cinch is also a very very long beginner slope. These long green runs are the best to learn on, by the time you get down to the bottom you've learned to ski! I disagree with Michael because bunny hills are difficult to learn on. Just when you are getting the hang of it the run is over and you have to go up to the top again and hopefully find your rhythm again. Whereas, with a long beginner slope you keep learning all the way down without interruption. One warning tho, make sure your equipment is on properly, fit properly and are comfortable before you get on the lift. It's a long walk down if you discover equipment problems. I highly recommend a beginner lesson. Good luck and have a great time!
4. Snowmass or Steamboat.
5. Winter Park is pretty good
6. Many others will snub this suggestion, but I would recommend Loveland. They offer a varitey of classes other than your typical "day child/adult lesson". Although it's smaller, I think it's great for that very reason so that a beginner isn't overwhelmed...and you don't have to go through the Ike and worry about beating traffic.
