Kiddometer Family Fit
Family First
The highest beginner-terrain share in this batch, a genuinely family-designed village (heated sidewalks, close-in lodging, a dedicated kids' area), free lift access under age 5, and lessons from age 3 make this one of the most deliberately family-built resorts in Colorado.
A polished, family-designed Vail Resorts village with the highest share of beginner terrain in this batch, heated sidewalks, and a dedicated kids' area.
Beaver Creek was built from the ground up as a quieter, more family-oriented alternative to neighboring Vail, and it shows: at 39% beginner terrain, it has the highest beginner share of any resort in this batch, plus heated village sidewalks, ski-in/ski-out lodging clustered close to the beginner lifts, and a dedicated kids' area for younger children. Kids under age 5 get complimentary lift access. Ski lessons start as young as age 3. The resort sits about 25 minutes from Eagle County Regional Airport, or roughly 2 hours from Denver International, the same access points as nearby Vail.
