Cleared for Takeoff
My wife and I and another couple are going to be in Las Vegas this Spring for a Monday-Thursday conference. We're flying through Denver both ways and figured we'd try to ski Friday and Saturday before flying home on Sunday. I'd like to ski mountains and not just foothills, but also avoid driving 8 of the hours we'll have to spend in the area. Given that it's such a short stay, where would you recommend we go?
In case it changes the answer, we'll have one advanced skier, one intermediate, one beginner (has skied before, but only once or twice on the "hills" we have in Wisconsin) and a fourth who won't be skiing, but would like to do some photography (landscape and action shots, I assume). Ideally, we'd be able to find a ski in/out condo to accommodate everyone.
Current frontrunners are Winter Park (none of us has ever been) or the Breckenridge area, but don't have any strong feelings toward any option.
Thanks!
