A couple things that may be useful:

There are 5 major mountains in CO –
1. Vail
2. Beaver Creek
3. Breckendridge
4. Copper
5. Keystone

They are all owned by the Vail Mountain Company and you can ski any of the 5 on the same lif tticket. Vail and Beaver Creek are the two biggest resorts/mountains and are about 5 min away from each other – I think Vail is still largest ski resort in the world. If you don’t mind the traffic that’s probably the best/most popular skiing in Co

Keep in mind that your going to be most likely be flying into the Denver airpot which is around 2 hours away from Vail/Beaver Creek. They have shuttles – (colorado Mountain Express) that costs $75 each way, so keep that in mind when calculating your costs.

If you don’t want to do that, look into flying directly into Eagle County Airport which is only about 20 min from the mountains, however everytime I look up flights directly to there, it’s always way more expensive.
